UFT President Randi Weingarten responds to the Post’s rubber room story from earlier in the week:
No one likes the Department of Education’s “rubber rooms” – least of all the teachers who sit in them, sometimes for months, without even knowing what they have been accused of – but faulting union contracts for the problem is ridiculous (“Why Is the City Paying 757 People To Do Nothing?” Sept. 30).
Teachers are entitled to a forum that separates scapegoating and false accusations from serious, credible charges.
Let’s stop playing the blame game and expedite the process so that good teachers can get back to their classrooms and those guilty of charges can be disciplined or dismissed.
