a subsidiary of the district. What good is it to spend $600 or $700 a year just so they can go out of their way to defend an ADMINISTRATOR and leave a teacher out in the cold? I am currently looking for an outside attorney, and I hope I can get one before the statute of limitations runs out. I believe I would get a pretty good settlement out of the district.

Where did they come from (I know they're much older than the current administration in NY) ? I can't come up with a reason why they would exist that fits. Why would an administration do this if it effectively "fires" a teacher without saving a penny since they continue to be paid to sit there?

I'm unfamiliar with your state's union. It sounds like they could use some work. Good luck with your appeal.

...where this happens. There ARE some bad teachers...and the process was developed to deal with those cases of bad teachers in NYC. But now, in order to save money, more teachers are being treated this way (not just in NYC, but elsewhere). They AREN'T all bad teachers...some have trumped up charges entered against them to stress them out and push them toward the retirement door earlier than they would have chosen. These...

>>>>A teacher (likely tenured in this scenario) is sitting and not working (rubber room). Because they are tenured, a trumped-up BS charge should likely go nowhere and they'll either be teaching again or back waiting in the rubber room. But either way, they're getting paid for doing nothing or getting paid for teaching again. Aside from the inconvenience of a schedule change... I just can't see why...

That this new program would come close to answering this question. Look at the standardized testing debacle. Secondly, what are students gaining from a typical four year university education. I submit some critical thinking skills. Another overlooked fact, is how many students are pushed to a university that are not meant, or don't want to be there. This isn't a question of who stays in school, ...

When any union allows its members a free pass, you can expect reactions like this. Just like with crooked cops and quack doctors, there probably are bonehead teachers who need to be weeded out. Better for your own group to make sure their members are up to snuff than to wait until the wrath of the public is aroused. Then it is too late to prevent overreactions that end up hurting the average ...

...before going to college, I think. For some students, having somewhat better means, longer economic history, different expectations, and so on are among them. I didn't start part time community college until I was in my late twenties, and didn't complete my baccalaureate degree until I was in my mid thirties. Of course, "non-traditional" ...

if "we" is the federal government than there isn't much of anything TO cut. But there are many localities where funding has been cut (or even eliminated) for GT programs because they don't have enough funds.

They don't reach tenure--ever--because they aren't regular contracted teachers. This subverts tenure and teacher morale as a whole because districts end up getting a system of revolving door teachers in order to save money. They never become vested in retirement, a huge expense. These teachers are gone after a couple of years, only to be ...

"Two years after Rhees arrival, scores on district-administered tests are up: 49 percent of elementary school students were reading at grade level, a 21- percentage-point jump in two years, according to test results released in July 2009. Among secondary-school students, 40 percent were at grade level in math, up 13 points. Rising proficiency levels should win Rhee new clout in the citys ...
