Bilingual educators brought from the Dominican Republic to work for the city Department of Education were ordered by a middle school teacher to shut up about the steep cost of the rooms they were forced to rent — or be exiled from the program, they told The Post.
The Dominican recruits said Rosse Mary Savery, a teacher at MS 80 in the Bronx under Principal Emmanuel Polanco, warned them not to tell a soul about having to fork over a monthly $1,350 to $1,450 each for a single room in apartments where they share a kitchen and bathroom with colleagues.
“She told us that we cannot talk about the rent to anybody. That was the main thing that she said: ‘Don’t talk to anybody. Don’t tell anybody how much you’re paying,’” a teacher quoted Savery as saying.

Why do we need to import teachers from the Dominican Republic in the first place? Don’t DR kids speak regular Spanish? WTF??!?
Sounds like school administrators are getting kickbacks from the landlord.
Why are they even involved in housing?
It’s not easy to find qualified Spanish speaking teachers in the US. I mean good Spanish. Most of the US variety of Gen 2 Hispanics speak poor Spanish or none at all.
I was vaguely tempted to get a teaching credential as a retirement job, just to have something to do, but I was credibly warned against it. Classroom management in California is apparently impossible.
Maybe the money should be spent on getting those kids to be fluent in English.
Sounds like the city of New York is so broke that they don't want to hire teachers other than expendable ones on a contract.
I have a friend who emigrated here from Mexico about 20 years ago. He lives in chicago, and he has a deal with the local church to provide housing for illegal alien families in the Chicago area. He buys these 4 plexes for under $30K each and rents out four Apartments for about $600 each. He’s got about 20 of these buildings. His cash flow is absolutely staggering. I don’t know how he does it, but he is probably clearing 35,000 a month.

So slavery is alive and well in NYC
Years ago, NY State got rid of the exam that teachers had to take to see if they’re even qualified to teach. They had to take a literacy exam.
State Regents said it was racist.
No telling who they’ve been hiring. Spanish teachers that can’t speak Spanish? Who knows
Sounds like slavery
Sounds like slavery

Apparently so...
to above
The landlord IS one of the administrators.

Gee, I wonder if they get kickbacks / take part of the rent money.........??
Hmmm.......
Could be why they were told to be silent about the rent?
That is exactly why hy they were told to b quiet. Suggest you re-read the article. It is obvious the landlord and several other administrators were running a scam on those teachers. Wouldn’t surprise me if they all end up doing prison time for fraud and extortion.
Its a money laundering/rent kickback scheme. Nothing really to do about teachers’ spanish.

Sounds good to me
