In the news on Wednesday, the tabloids continue to have a field day with the case of a teacher who has collected his $100,000-a-year salary for a decade while assigned to “rubber room”-type duty.

The case of Alan Rosenfeld, a former typing instructor, has prompted The New York Post to look more closely at the records of the case against the teacher, who was accused by six girls in junior high school “of leering at them and making inappropriate remarks.”
