| 87. NYC's School District is the Crookedest, Most Corrupt |
|
in the entire United States. Hundreds of teachers are being "incarcerated" in the so-called "rubber rooms" in order to get their hearings to see if they get tossed out on bogus allegations. And almost ALL of them are bogus and few teachers survive arbitration. Perverting the tenure system is a new way for unscrupulous districts and administrators to cut down on budget costs, especially for older workers who are vested in retirement.
They WANT the bimbos fresh out of college so they can be tossed out after three years (denied tenure, which in NY state means their licenses can be revoked) so as to NEVER be vested in retirement.
This sick, twisted system is why public school systems are in the crapper. School districts are NOT about children but instead are strictly political institutions.
Nobody in his or her right mind would work in such a filthy, corrupt, sick system.
