Mary Crangle let teachers wangle.
The arbitrator refused to fire a Brooklyn teacher whose second-grader went on a bathroom break and wound up wandering Times Square for hours. She slapped the educator with a $1,000 fine.
The 7-year-old boy left Faye Dolloway’s class at PS 174 in Brownsville at 10:45 a.m. and got on a train. She didn’t realize he was missing until 1:20 p.m. Cops found him at 5:30 roaming the Toys “R†Us.
“I conclude there is no just cause for termination,†Crangle said. “[Dolloway] clearly understands her obligations as a teacher and I find her to be genuinely remorseful.â€

DISCIPLINE-ERR-IAN: Mary Crangle, an arbitrator charged with disciplining teachers, has let many off with fines or other wrist slaps.
The case is one of many in which Crangle and other high-paid hearing officers gave out light punishments to educators the city Department of Education wanted canned.
Of 76 educators who went before arbitrators this year, only 29 were fired — leaving 61 percent cleared to return to the classroom.

i fear for our school system!! As a teacher, how can you not notice that a child is missing?? Don't teachers do a mental roll call after recess, to make sure all the kids came back? I surprised, that none of his classmates said anything. find it astounding!!
