Brooklyn teacher NYC tried to fire decade ago for fixing grades is back in classroom and under fraud probe again: 'No accountability'
Story by Gabrielle Fahmy, David Spector • 22h

The city Department of Education is once again investigating a bad teacher for fixing grades — more than a decade after trying to fire him for falsifying Regents test scores, The Post has learned.

Critics say it’s a case study in what is wrong with a school system where tenured teachers are protected by their powerful union — even when they are failing children miserably.

In June 2011, Osman Abugana, now 63, was accused of “inappropriately changing the scores from failing to passing” on the state Regents physics exam for five students at Medgar Evers College Preparatory, a public middle-high school in Brooklyn.

I’m not in the least bit surprised, and I’m sure he’s not even the worst of the lot.

NYC schools used to - and may yet have - "rubber rooms" for teachers accused of but not convicted of sexual abuse. Those teachers cannot be fired, and won't be allowed back in classrooms, so they sit, and they get paid.

As far as I know they still have them.  Full benefits, full pay, and all you have to do is sit in a room by yourself all day.  And with today’s remote access , you can be running your own side business full time at the same time.
