Actually a former teacher, taught analog and digital electronics, computer repair and networking and changed hundreds of lives. Started the first computer and networking courses in the state. Started the program off of grants I wrote. Won rookie of the year and teacher of the year a couple times.
Trained the teachers in technology. Taught hundreds in short ‘build your computers’ classes. Taught principles and along computer repair. When I started my adult vocational training classes contained students that wanted to change their lives. Most lost their jobs or became disable and couldn’t do hard labor anymore. Several students started their own companies. Hundreds of others had solid careers because of my training.
Why did I quit? They introduced High School children into the program that didn’t want to learn. Children thrown into the program because they were undisciplined but intelligent and they didn’t know what to do with. Children their parents expected me to raise but could not discipline (terrible attitudes, disrespectful, no work or personal ethics and I could not fail or remove from class because of the their parents). It ruined the program for the adults and high school children wanting to learn. The easily butt-hurt parents broke my spirit in the program I created from the ground up.
But yes, due to parents complaining about the slightest insult and unable to take responsibility for their children’s misbehavior I quit and doubled my salary in the real world. All the good I could have done for others wasted. And I was a good teacher, a damn good one. I have students 15 years later running up to me to shake my hand thanking me for changing/saving their lives.
