Here is the story but basically teachers are being sent to "padded rooms" or something like that to a wait there hearings and they sit there for years before they even get their disciplinary hearings in the mean time they continue to get their paychecks and the holidays off with pay.
They are closing schools and cutting jobs but then they allow something like 700 teachers to sit in this room awaiting their hearings. That is wrong!!!
