The Rubber Room (2010)

Tagged: Government schools, Incompetent government, Working for government

A little-known policy of NYC schools consigns teachers accused of misconduct to special ‘rubber rooms’ where they do nothing, at full pay, while investigations drag on in some cases for years.

External Reviews

“Two documentary filmmakers have infiltrated New York City’s infamous ‘rubber rooms’ — the eight disciplinary dens around the city where educators accused of wrongdoing while away months, or even years, at full pay — to reveal teachers snoozing at their desks, holding jam sessions, playing board games, and breaking into fights. These educators in limbo — some still raking in six figures a year — show up from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a ‘work’ day that, in some cases, consists of holding book-club meetings and prayer sessions, repeatedly karate-kicking a file cabinet, or forming a musical duo complete with keyboards and vocals…”
–New York Post

“Many of the teachers that are taken into this detention facility have often been put there without being explained what they have been detained for. They do not know who accused them, or what for and sadly in some cases it may be a personal disagreement with a higher authority. In some extreme instances teachers have even been held in these rooms for 10 years.”
–Gawker

A Pity You’ve Never Seen An Old Movie: 10 Suggested Films

Per the New York Post, "A new study finds that less than a quarter of millennials have watched an old movie from start to finish that was made back in the 1940s or 50s and only a third have seen one from the 1960s." This is something of a cultural tragedy, as so much of what is great in the larger body of … Continue Reading

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
