With the union’s position of any dues paying teacher is a good teacher and the administration’s position of- Hey its not our money or our kids, why wouldn’t this be the case.
The hearing officers if they ever had principles and a conscience long ago sold their souls to insure they had a steady diet of cases.
I suspect any hearing officer that uses common sense and looks out for the kids is a short timer. Not saying it is right, only that it mimics the way the Dems and establishment Republics act.

Unions, being the socialistic organizations they are always lean left; it’s only a question of degree. The Teachers’ unions, perhaps more emphatically in NYC than in other cities, are clear indications of why even FDR and Truman did not support public employee unions.

The inside joke there was that a civil service employee was like a two dollar pistol. They wouldn’t work and you couldn’t fire them.

Sounds very similar with NY teachers.
