Alan Rosenfeld is a 66 year old NYC typing teacher who has been banished from the classroom for over a decade due to being deemed a danger to students is still collecting a $100K salary...and health benefits...all while accruing a nice pension nest egg...Rosenfeld also has a $10 million real estate portfolio and is able to work on managing that while he sits in an indefinie reassignment in a School System "rubber room."
It's all about tenure.

What is this "Typing" you speak of. They haven't tought that subject in this century either, have they??
Typing was what they listed as his teaching subject. He could have been some keyboard guy who did computers and such. But we can county on Dannie to attempt to throw water on a story that points out another real mess with our teacher's union. The teacher is a thug, and he has earned his benefits. Just like Dannie. Failing to address these kinds of issues does nothing for the children. Its just another example of Dannie's party protecting improper and immoral behavior.
No Dan they have not required typing for decades. Even though keyboard skills are fundamental to every person in the country, no matter what their age, the experts in education decided to use that time and money to teach everyone Spanish instead.
Yes Dannie, it would make sense to teach typing, therefore they probably have discontinued it.
No, Mayor. This is not "all about tenure". This is all about government.
Who created this situation? Parents or politicians?
Keep writing about the bad,we know your not happy with your life.It is why you focus on the bad things right?
And good teachers continue to buy suooplies for kids and classrrooms out of their own pocket....
From reading the story the BOE took him to a hearing but there wasnt enough witnessess so why is he to blame, better yet change the law for mandatory retirement age, problem solved, Maybe we should have this process for outdated politicans.
Typical of public sector unions using their thug tactics to scare politicians into caving in to unrealistic demands. Union "political action arms" insure that those that make the laws are in constant threat of loosing the next election. Either political courage or term limits are needed to make public sector employment contracts fair.
Tenure is just unfair.
The teacher in question is probably not guilty of what he was accused of or else they could fire him.
Alan was never found guilty of the charge, but the NYC Department of Education is afraid of him, and if they pursue him he will expose what they are doing that they shouldnt be.
Believe me, if there was any proof of his misconduct the Department would have been terminated way before now.

Alan was never proven guilty of anything! If he had been proven guilty, or if they could prove that maybe he did something, he would have been terminated
Sorry 8:43, but I've had some experience trying to get rid of incompetant teachers. Unless the teacher is caught in the act of sexually molesting a student, it is virtually impossible to fire a tenured teacher. About the only way you can get rid of a teacher is to eliminate the class they teach for at least 7 years. Which does beg the question of why this guy is still on the payroll. I would guess it has certainly been more than 7 years since any school has taught typing.
Sorry 5:47 but I have real experience getting rid of teachers for misconduct not imaginary internet experience like you do. And it is not as difficult as you and the rest seem to believe it is.
Getting rid of incompetent teachers is another subject entirely.
Who cares about this? Only a Dannie type or a school teacher would argue that the situation is totally out of balance. The welfare and future of our children has nothing to do with the structure that is in place governing our teachers. They own our politicians, and our pols own us. So again people, shut the hell up. You wanted it this way. When balances could have been established, you failed to get involved. Its too late now. NYSUT does what it likes because our schools exist to provide them with FreeMoney, and the sytem works very well. Please. No more of this. Just shut the hell up.
The poster, 6:09, that claims teachers use their own money to buy supplies earns a healthy and chunky puke.
If everyone home schooled it would be the final answer!
But 9:28, then all our teachers would be in a rubber room. We would still have to pay them. Its not like we could lay them off. Then again it would help tourism. They could be in the Bahamas all the time, working on lesson plans.
"Just shut the hell up."
Excellent idea... maybe you should start with yourself.
Whens you loses arguments yous gets frustration like. Vote Obuma. I gots GEDZ.
