Paraíso del docente(*) argento

Hundreds of New York City public school teachers accused of offenses ranging from insubordination to sexual misconduct are being paid their full salaries to sit around all day playing Scrabble, surfing the Internet or just staring at the wall, if that's what they want to do.

Because their union contract makes it extremely difficult to fire them, the teachers have been banished by the school system to its "rubber rooms" — off-campus office space where they wait months, even years, for their disciplinary hearings.

The 700 or so teachers can practice yoga, work on their novels, paint portraits of their colleagues — pretty much anything but school work. They have summer vacation just like their classroom colleagues and enjoy weekends and holidays through the school year.
...
Because the teachers collect their full salaries of $70,000 or more, the city Department of Education estimates the practice costs the taxpayers $65 million a year. The department blames union rules.

No entiendo por qué después los estatales critican tanto a los shanquis... Será de envidia?

Fe de erratas: donde dice "docente" debe decir "trabajador de la educación".

Pero aquí pasa lo mismo. Los "trabajadores de la educación" que tienen algún problemita pasan a "desempeñar tareas pasivas" en algún colegio. Es decir, se los libera de toda responsabilidad académica o administrativa, lo único que tienen que hacer es presentarse todos los días y cumplir el horario. Igual que mucha gente, pero estos lo hacen con autorización.
