  • New York City Rubber Rooms: the Legality of Temporary Reassignment Centers in the Context of Tenured Teachers’ Due Process Rights
    NEW YORK CITY RUBBER ROOMS: THE LEGALITY OF TEMPORARY REASSIGNMENT CENTERS IN THE CONTEXT OF TENURED TEACHERS’ DUE PROCESS RIGHTS By Bree Williams Education Law & Policy Professor Kaufman May 14, 2009 1 I. INTRODUCTION Jago Cura, a 32 year-old English teacher, was three months into his teaching assignment in the New York City Public School District (“the District”) when he was assisting students in his class with a group project.1 For no discernible reason, he began to lose control of his students and the class environment turned chaotic.2 Unable to deal with the stress, Cura began screaming and cursing at his students and, shortly after that, picked up a chair and flung it toward a blackboard.3 The chair bounced off the blackboard and grazed a student.4 After a moment, Cura realized what he had done and left the classroom.5 The day after this incident, the principal of Cura’s school instructed him to go to a Department of Education building for work instead of his classroom to teach.6 Unbeknownst to him at the time, Cura was being sent to a Temporary Reassignment Center, or what teachers within the District have termed, a “rubber room.”7 Rubber rooms are Department of Education facilities throughout the District that serve as a type of holding facility where teachers awaiting investigations or hearings involving alleged mishaps are sent for an indefinite period of time. This paper analyzes the legality of rubber rooms as a form of re-assignment for teachers that have allegedly engaged in misconduct, in light of a teacher’s tenure rights and right of due process.

  • Classical Liberalism in Italian Economic Thought, from the Time of Unification · Econ Journal Watch : Italy,Classical Liberalis
    Discuss this article at Journaltalk: http://journaltalk.net/articles/5933 ECON JOURNAL WATCH 14(1) January 2017: 22–54 Classical Liberalism in Italian Economic Thought, from the Time of Unification Alberto Mingardi1 LINK TO ABSTRACT This paper offers an account of Italians who have advanced liberal ideas and sensibilities, with an emphasis on individual freedom in the marketplace, since the time of Italy’s unification. We should be mindful that Italy has always had a vein of liberal thought. But this gold mine of liberalism was seldom accessed by political actors, and since 1860 liberalism has been but one thin trace in Italy’s mostly illiberal political thought and culture. The leading representatives of Italian liberalism since 1860 are little known internationally, with the exception of Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923). And yet their work influenced the late James M. Buchanan and the development of public choice economics.2 Scholars such as Bruno Leoni (1913–1967) joined—and influenced— liberals around the world, and they continue to have an impact on Italy today. Besides their scholarship, all the liberal authors mentioned here share a constant willingness to enter the public debate.3 Viewed retrospectively they appear a pugnacious lot, even if not highly successful in influencing public policy. The standout is Luigi Einaudi (1874–1961), at once a scholar and journalist who also became a leading political figure in the period after World War II. 1. Istituto Bruno Leoni, 10123 Turin, Italy. I am grateful to Jane Shaw Stroup for valuable editorial feed- back. I also wish to thank Enrico Colombatto and three anonymous referees for their helpful comments.

  • The Cyber Balkanization and Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere in Korea
    Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia, Volume 7, No.2: 29-48 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17477/jcea.2008.7.2.029 The Cyber Balkanization and Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere in Korea ∗ Chang Woo-young The development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has sup- ported improvements in political communications among citizens, the organization of civil society groups, and collective action among citizens. Such changes are contribut- ing to the re-vitalization of the public sphere. The public sphere, which is a tremen- dously broad physical and symbolic space where public opinion is created, is com- posed of communication structures of a society. Furthermore, the distribution struc- ture of communication reflects the social relationship of power and leads to funda- mental changes in the roles and functions of actors as well as their relationship (Bim- ber, 2003; Newhagen & Levy, 1996; Fraser, 1992). In mass media-based communica- tion, citizens have hitherto remained in the status of passive information recipients. But today’s web-based communication fostering a number of noticeable changes in the structure of information distribution including the breakdown of the boundary be- tween information producers and recipients, obsolescence of gatekeeping, and promo- tion of interactive media modes. Thanks to such changes, citizens can now proactively participate in public discussion activities. The functions and innate structure of the public sphere undergo changes under the intervention of the social context. According to Habermas (1989), the dynamics of the formation and restructuring of the public discussion forum can be conceptualized as “the structural transformation of the public sphere.” Since the 1990s, Korean soci- ety has expanded the cyber public sphere amid the development of the new media including PC communication, the Internet, and mobile communication.

  • SCHOOLING and the «FAMILY CRISIS» Boston Uniuersity (USA) On
    SCHOOLINGAND THE «FAMILYCRISIS» by CHARL FB L. GLENN Boston Uniuersity (USA) «Certainly of all countries in the world,» Toqueville wrote in the 1830s, «America is the one in which the marriage tie is most respected and where the highest and truest conception of conjuga! happiness has beenconceived . When the Americanreturns ... to the bosom of the family, he immediately finds a perfectpicture of order and peace.» [1] How times have changed! If there is now one point of agreement between political conservatives and progressives in the United States, it is that the family is introuble. Duringthe 1992 election campaign, Democrats and Republicans competed to convince the voters that they had the more credible plans to address this perceivedcrisis. Inevitably,American schools are being called u pon to do their share of providing a solution. Educational leaders are quick to assure the public that they can add this mission to many others that schools have assumed (generally ineffectively) in recent decades. What precisely is the problem? A conservative policy institute has ingeniously invented an «lndex of Leading Cultural Indicators» modeled upon themethod used to track the health of the American economy. On the cultural front(at least by the measures chosen) the news is almost all bad. Since 1960 the average hours of television watched has risen steadily, the average seores on standardized tests has fallen, and the violent crime rate has risen, while the median prison sentence for serious crimes has fallen. Four indicators measure in various ways the health of American families: revista espaffolade pedagogla ano U.n.• 196, septiembre-diciembre 1993 574 CHARLES L.
