If you doubt how f'ed up America's schools are these days, well this speaks for itself. Of course the leftist school union will defend this thug teacher.

Quote:A Bronx charter school teacher beat up and robbed a 16-year-old student who owed him $4,000 that the kid was supposed to use to buy him marijuana, police sources said.

Kevin Pope, 48, who was arrested on Friday, even threatened to have the boy’s mother sexually assaulted if he didn’t pay up, the sources said.

Pope, a science teacher at John V. Lindsay Wildcat Academy Charter School in Hunts Point, confronted the teen about two blocks away from the Lafayette Ave. school at around 5:10 p.m. Wednesday and demanded money for the unpaid drugs, the student told police, sources said.

When the student didn’t hand over the money, Pope allegedly socked the teen in the face multiple times and took his iPhone 6, gold chain and wallet containing the boy’s school ID, school MetroCard and regular MetroCard.

“I want my money in a month!” the teacher said to the student after the beat-down that left the student hospitalized, sources said.

A source said that Pope “threatened to have him beat up again and have his mother sexually assaulted” if he didn’t get his money.

Pope beat the student so bad that needed three staples in the back of his head to close up a wound and suffered a laceration to his lip, sources said.

The incident was not reported to police until 4 a.m. Thursday.

Pope was arrested Friday at 10 a.m. and charged with robbery and assault, according to police.

The student attends Pope’s school,but it’s unclear if the teen was in that teacher’s class.

A Department of Education spokeswoman directed all questions to the charter school, which declined to comment.

Pope was awaiting arraignment at Bronx Criminal Court Friday night.

In my eyes both parties are guilty and deserve what they get. Don't do stupid stuff, it'll get you sooner or later.

$4,000!?

Hot damn.

Well, they did say that charter schools would apply business principles to education.

Science teacher?

Didn't Kaplony have an enlightening thread on teachers?

I wonder if Fit and him hung out in the teacher's lounge?

I thought fit was in El Paso

Good point. If he was in a union, he couldn't be fired.

He isn't a teacher.

Good. Now he can be fired as he should instead of paying to sleep like a union teacher, wasting taxpayer money.

Quote:The city’s infamous rubber rooms have rebounded.

In one of the “reassignment centers,” 16 exiled educators sit in a city Department of Education building in Long Island City, Queens, including a dozen packed into one room — where they do virtually no work.

They listen to music, do crossword puzzles, chat — and as this exclusive Post photo reveals, doze on the taxpayer’s dime.

The rules forbid beach chairs and air mattresses, but not nap time. The teacher sprawled on the floor, pulled a wool hat over his eyes to shut out the fluorescent lights and slept.

Others prop up two chairs to recline or just lay their heads on the table. “It’s gone right back to the way it was in the old days, an old-fashioned rubber room,” one banished teacher said.
A teacher is seen sleeping in a Queens rubber room.

Despite the photographic evidence and teacher testimony to the contrary, the city denies the existence of the derided holding pens. “There are no more rubber rooms,” DOE officials told The Post last week, saying reassigned staffers are given “administrative duties.”

Quote:The DOE refused to say how many removed teachers and other tenured staffers remain in limbo, but sources estimate 200 to 400 get paid while awaiting disciplinary hearings. Their salaries total $15 million to $20 million a year.

The Long Island City castoffs begin their day by reading newspapers, then turn on the radio. They get 45 minutes to leave for lunch. They chat and sometimes exercise to “relieve the stress.”

While the city promised to keep removed educators busy, the Queens exiles say they only occasionally oblige requests to do menial tasks like stuffing folders or making copies. Others refuse to do such work, calling it “demeaning.”

Quote:Several teachers on the payroll have been benched for up to five years due to a stunning bureaucratic breakdown. The 2010 deal required the independent arbitrators who conduct termination trials to issue a decision 30 days after a hearing, so that vindicated teachers could return to work and bad ones could be axed.

But decisions still come months — or even years — late. The DOE says it can’t enforce the rule.

“They’re just letting me sit here,” said a teacher removed from the classroom nearly five years ago on charges of physically abusing children, which he denies. His trial ended four years ago. He makes about $70,000 a year.

Yes but I always take payment in advance. LOL
