It is actually good to observe tax payer dollars go in the direction of paying teachers to do nothing. I am not talking about the gym teacher either; I am talking about time out for teachers.
Hundreds of New York City school teachers which have been accused of offenses are still on the clock; and are paid their full salaries solely to do zilch. As long as they are not at their house, they are being paid. A lot of the teachers sit around and surf the internet or play scrabble, whatever they desire to do.
The association they work for contract makes it next to impossible to fire them, so the teachers are sent to rubber quarters which is a slang term for the off campus space where they can wait months or even years until corrective hearings.
Just like their coworkers who are actually teaching students at school, the almost 700 teachers sitting in the rubber rooms still get summer holiday, weekends off, and holidays off all the way through the school year.
The teachers collect their full salaries of $70,000 a year, costing taxpayers someplace in the ballpark of $65 million a year.
No one desires teachers who do not go in the classroom. Yet, we cannot abandon the teachers rights to due process, said Ron Davis, a spokesman for the United Federation of Teachers. Currently the coalition is trying to work with the Department of Education to arrive at an accord to decrease the sum of time teachers spend in the rubber rooms. The current union contract requires that the teachers carry on their jobs in some way awaiting their cases are tried.
This is as silly as the union contract that required GM workers to have places for fired or retired workers to stay for months and still receive their full salaries. I know that our public school organization is out of order, and this story just proves it permanently.Interested in learning more about
