This guy must be real special. Tell me something-How does a guy arrested for drug charges keep his job at the school and then get arrested again for drugs (Heroin) and now get an administrative leave? What a disgrace!!! He should be treated just like the DWI cases. Did the County seize his vehicle or that wasn't done because he's related to someone at the Office of the Suffolk District Attorney. Corruption at it's best. When are the taxpayers in this country going to stand up and take back what is theirs and stop the endless political corruption?
Perhaps the "specialness" that allows him to keep his job now is the same "specialness" that allowed him to get that job in the first place. Do you have any idea how competitive it is to get a teaching job here? Go to olasjobs.org and see. Four or five openings per area, all of them scattered across the island. And how many new graduates are vying for them? Hmm. Let's see- every education major from Hofstra, Adelphi, CW Post, Molloy, Stony Brook, SUNY Old Westbury, Dowling and probably a few more schools that I missed. And those are just the new teachers who stayed here to go to school. Do you think that the ones who went to Columbia or Fordham actually want to work in NYC now? Not for less money and in horrible conditions. They are all competiting for these jobs, too. Plus those who went to college upstate. Obviously, most of these people will never even land an interview, let alone find a tenure track job. Yet, amid this tidal wave of highly qualified applicants, we are expected to believe that this junkie and the pervert in Hempstead were the two best applicants available. More likely they had connections and networked their way in.
