Teacher tenure keeps bad teachers on the payroll?

Disgraced New York City typing teacher has collected 100 K a year plus benefits for the last 10 years.

In a defiant raspberry to the New York Department of Education — and to taxpayers — disgraced teacher Alan Rosenfeld, 66, wonâ€t retire.

Deemed a danger to kids, the typing teacher –with a $10 million real estate portfolio — hasnâ€t been allowed in a classroom for more than a decade.

He continues to still collect $100,049 a year in city salary. And he gets health benefits, a growing pension nest egg, vacation and sick pay.

New York City Mayor Bloomberg and New York Gov. Cuomo can call for better teacher evaluations until theyâ€re blue-faced.

But Rosenfeld and six peers with similar gigs costing about $650,000 a year in total salaries remain untouchable.

Under the New York City system, shackled by protections for tenured teachers, they canâ€t be fired, says the Dept. of Education.

Why is it harder to fire a teacher than a lawmaker?
