Professors Paid For Doing Nothing

It is very good to observe tax payer dollars go toward paying teachers to do nothing. I am not talking about the gym teacher either; I am talking concerning time out for teachers.

Hundreds of New York City school teachers which have been accused of offenses are even now on the clock; and are compensated their entire salaries solely to do zilch. As long as they are not at their house, they are being compensated. A lot of the teachers sit around and surf the internet or join in scrabble, anything they desire to do.

The society they work for agreement makes it next to impossible to dismiss them, so the teachers are sent to rubber rooms which is a jargon term for the off property space where they can remain months or even years until corrective hearings.

Just like their coworkers who are really teaching students at school, the nearly 700 teachers sitting in the rubber rooms still get summer time off, weekends off, and holidays off all the way through the school year.

The teachers collect their entire salaries of $70,000 a year, costing taxpayers somewhere in the ballpark of $65 million per year.

Nobody ...
... wants teachers who do not go in the classroom. Yet, we cannot abandon the teachers constitutional rights to due process, said Ron Davis, a spokesperson for the United Federation of Teachers. At present the coalition is attempting to work with the Department of Education to reach an accord to reduce the total of time teachers spend in the rubber rooms. The current union agreement requires that the teachers carry on their jobs in some way until their cases are tried.

This is as ridiculous as the union agreement that obligated GM workers to have places for fired or retired workers to stay for months and still receive their entire salaries. I know that our public school organization is broken, and this account just proves it permanently.
