One Reason that Education is Failing
In what profession can you not do your job and still make over $100,000? It seems that a New York City teacher has not been teaching for more than two years and is still collecting a salary:
A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing nothing spends time in a Department of Education “rubber room” working on his law practice and managing 12 real-estate properties worth an estimated $7.8 million, The Post found.
Alan Rosenfeld hasn’t set foot in a classroom for nearly a decade since he was accused in 2001 of making lewd comments to junior-high girls and “staring at their butts,” yet the department still pays him handsomely for sitting on his own butt seven hours a day.
Because Rosenfeld is protected by a Union contract, he can’t be fired, receives his full pay and benefits and can do as he pleases. If you don’t think the system needs reform, think again.
