Here's the scam though.....teachers are "retiring" because they can. Then they draw their full pension and bennies and are being REHIRED TO THEIR OLD JOBS at their previous salary.

One thing is certain - public employees excel at sticking it to the taxpayers. If only they would devote half that energy to their actual jobs.

I’m really puzzled by this. How can they be rehired at their old jobs and salaries if they are retired and drawing a salary? I know that in Illinois teachers lose their pensions if they go over a strict limit of hours per year where they are allowed to teach. In other words, if I were a retired teacher, I could teach a very limited time, but certainly not as my old job and old salary. Are you speaking from experience in Wisconsin?

I don’t know about Wisconsin but in Texas one can’t do this.The only way to start teaching again one must come out of retirement.
