A hundred million a year for bad teachers

This isn't a new story by any means, it was exposed and discussed at length a year ago.

Someone determines that a certain teacher should not be leading or teaching any more. Occasionally the reason is incompetence but it is far more likely to be something rather ugly, such as sexual abuse of students. The union has made sure that these teachers cannot be fired. Dick Morris whips out a chart of the steps that have to be gone through just to get rid of them--and it unfolds to something ridiculous like twenty pages long.

And so they report to work every day they want to get paid (which, coincidentally, is every day) but since they're not allowed to teach, they sit in a reading room or the teachers' lounge. For some unknown reason they don't get put to work typing, filing, or shipping things. This amazes the rest of the country, but never seems to amaze the educrats. It would be "demeaning" to put these bums to work when they had been hired as teachers.
