We are from NYC and back than had a pretty good school system.
As time went on they had more and more administrators and allowed the teachers union to become all powerful and eventually cared mostly about salaries of the teachers and would not let incompetent teachers be let go.
In NY they have a building where teachers who for various reasons are not trusted to go near students go and read newspapers all day while earning their normal salary. That money would be better utilized paying teachers.
