Have you heard about this???

Call me naive, but when I listened to last week's edition of This American Life, I was SHOCKED to learn about the purgatory that is New York City's "Rubber Room." Apparently the public school system in NYC, which has 80,000 teachers and one million students, has a rather archaic method of reprimanding its incompetent teachers. The New York Times did a short but informative write-up last October on this maddening situation.
