Dear Mr. Langholz,
That was an interesting film. If the rubber room is truly a place where teachers are held for months or years waiting for a hearing on disciplinary action it is a waste of tax payers money. The New York city school system has many great problems to overcome. One of them being that a student can report a teacher for a minor infraction and the teacher has in school suspension. The unprofessionalism in that school district is a disgrace to teachers and education.
Bridget,
Indeed a disgrace to all of those involved. Between the teachers' unions for protecting incompetent teachers to the legal system for taking on cases for reasons that aren't in the best interests of individuals or society. How do we begin to unravel the mess that has evolved related to these issues? Thanks for your comment.
