What happens when a teacher in New York City is accused of misconduct or incompetence in the classroom? They are sent to the "Rubber Room" while an investigation is launched. They spend months or even years there getting full pay and doing nothing.

  • I'm in the rubber room. Going on ten months I still don't know what the specific charges are. I was put in the rubber room by a principal who was fired for having the worst school in the entire system, John G. Angelet, and is still in the system as an "Assistent Principal on loan" somewhere in East Harlem.

  • I was a dumb student. I did not understand WHY I was to even be in school until the last semester of the 8th grade. What it was for. I had fallen so far behind in elementary school that I had to catch up with my studies. I was still on the same problems and was stagnant in math. I finally finished with a 10th grade math level in math.

    Teachers mean everything. I now work at Wal Mart as a cashier and I still on some days am not able to do my job

    IT is IMPORTANT. WAKE UP TEACH!!

  • hm ich wiege 300 kilo

  • Bloomberg is closing schools and opening new ones in their places to get rid of the teachers he doesn't like. Sending teachers into EXCESS pool while class sizes are exploding. Now his principals who were once union members like the teachers help in his discrimination in the hiring process. Now he's planning to layoff excessed teachers who he forced into excess in the first place.

  • did this come out?

  • @Poptartza Due process shouldn't take 8 years....which some of the people in the rubber have been there that long..and if you just look at the percentages of unioned teachers fired versus other professions....it is considerably lower....so unions do prevent bad teachers from getting fired....tenure in non-union states really doesn't do anything, but it in union states, it means our kids are losing out.

  • @griffin318 tenure does not give job security, it just guarantees due process. It's the beurocracy that backlogs the cases that keeps teachers from being fired.

  • where can I get this doc?

  • The rubber rooms exist because of the Teachers Unions.... you can't fire them because of the contracts.

    Thank you Teachers Unions and shitty parents for destroying the USA!
