NYP: A teacher who sits in lounges and libraries doing nothing all day — sometimes even napping — is challenging the city to make him earn his $94,000 salary.
“I come to work every day, sit down and do nothing,” said David Suker, who spent 15 years helping “at risk” teens in The Bronx earn a general equivalency diploma, or GED.
Suker, 48, complains he is “warehoused” in the Absent Teacher Reserve, a pool of educators without permanent jobs that costs an estimated $100 million a year. Right now, there are 1,304 mothballed city Department of Education staffers in the ATR.
The DOE fired the Army veteran, who suffers from PTSD, after he made news as an Occupy Wall Street protester who clashed with cops. He appealed his firing in court and won, paying only a $7,000 fine.
But instead of returning Suker to his old job or a similar one, the DOE banished him to the ATR, where teachers, guidance counselors and others who can’t get re-hired move from school to school as substitutes.
At least 200 educators who have been fined or suspended for misconduct or incompetence are currently stuck in the ATR. MORE
Maybe he could teach NY kids basic life skills, such as using a belt to hold up your pants, how to put laces in shoes, the advantages of putting a ball cap on with the bill in front, and that in order to be respected they need to show respect. OK, OK, scratch that last one. Obviously that is an advanced subject this guy isn’t likely qualified to teach.
No way I’d want some Occupy loon teaching our children. No, just no
if the only choices are to keep paying this asshole to do nothing or to allow him back in a classroom to further indoctrinate and brainwash our kids with Leftist shitdrivel, then I say pay the fucktard to rot.
An Occupy guy, eh? Put him to work washing cop cars.
Notice that he doesn’t quit and find a different job? You make 94K a year, all that free time and you’re not doing anything with yourself? Occutard through and through.

And because of you and others sucking up funds, they’re worse off. Why isn’t he tutoring them for free if it’s that important to him?
Typical union maggot.
Complain if his ice cream was cold.
izlamo delenda est …
Sounds a lot like the UAW. If this guy “worked” for me, I would find every demeaning, dirty, unpleasant job that REAL teachers didn’t want to do and assign them to this slug. Kid pukes in room 5B? Suker, go clean it up. Lunch room a mess? Suker, get on it. I would have him quitting in 2 weeks.
A glimpse into how badly the government has f’cked up our schools
There are teaching jobs going begging all over the USA. No wonder, they don’t pay anywhere near $94k.
He’s qualified. He should run for office.
I love all the optimists who still believe that there is hope for America or as Obama and Hillary call it Mexico Norte!
