How is this kid not fired?

I agree with everything you said.
I sometimes wonder if the producers are purposefully making this prison look bad and just making it totally obvious to the higher ups that are scratching heads as if to say to them DUH! This is why you idiots!
I agree they should have an education requirement and that one class should be sociology or psychology, a lot,of other jobs require it in cases where you work with other people like education.
I also agree their training should have required rotations in each unit. Doctors do rotations in each area like pediatrics, emergency room, etc whether that is going to be their specialty or not.
When you do your student teaching year it is a year beyond your BA, you student teach full time AND still take a full time course load at the university teaching your w to be a teacher.
Well most people student teach in the elementary schools because that is where they are going to teach, others with a single subject credential (meaning you are a math major and will be teaching just math or whatever subject) will usually student teach in the middle school or high school because that is where they are going to teach. However, my credential (music) is a k-12 credential so I student taught in elementary school, middle school, AND high school. I primarily wanted to teach music in high school and my professors even said I didn't have to do all three but I wanted to. There was a chance (especially due to budget cuts) that I couldn't get my ideal job so I needed to be prepared to teach any grade level and that involved student teaching each grade leveler, and it was eye opening for me.
My high school mentor teacher threw out his back, needed back surgery and was the. Kachin of the girls golf team where they went on all day games so I was doing solo teaching a lot more tha. Student teaching, so much so I got my sub permit and started getting paid for each time I solo taught.
My middle and elementary student teaching was at the same school a k-8 school and I had a much better mentor teacher. The elementary music teaching was primarily done in a classroom and the middle school stuff was pull out band both beginning and advanced and choir.
Each area is so different. High schoolers are ready to get out and go, some are respectful and some aren't but those are also the years they start turining into their parents so I learn a lot about students parents in those years.
Middle school is the worst for me (and I have a 6th grade son too, lol) because they think they are on the top of their totem pole because they are the top grade of their school and they don't know just how far they have to go or how falling from the top is falling from the most dangerous height. They challenge you at everything trunking they know more than you.
Elementary school is cute. They do everything and don't care who is watching. They pick their nose and wipe it on their shirt and don't care. They fart and say excuse me and every moves on, it's great, and cute. Kids there make and break friendships forty time in a day and it's okay! Lol.
I think that working each grade gives me the skills needed to work with any student and see how different students learn different ways, not every kid is going to learn your way of teaching them. Especially special Ed student which I also taught because music is an elective and special Ed students get to pick one general Ed elective and it is usually art or music.
That is a great example for me because after teaching for five years I had my child, three years after he was born he was diagnosed with autism. It wasn't a surprise to me because I saw the developmental delays I saw in some of my special Ed students.
BUT
I knew HOW to deal with it because my experience in teaching different students special Ed students included and autistic students included . That could be the same here if the CO's work in training with different types of people they can learn how to deal with them.
I know which battles to pick and chose from with high schoolers, because of the experience.
I think it sums up best when someone asked a friend and me what we teach. My friend replied kindergarten and was met with a showering of oh how cute, and adorable from the ladies to which my friend had a look of huh? On her face because that wasn't how she felt about it, I rep,iced high school after her and I was met with shock and oh I'm so sorry, and that must be terrible, to which I had a look of huh? On my face because that wasn't how I felt. I replied that no it's great, I love it. My friend the kindergarten teacher was tired of kids yelling, and cleaning up glue (and snot) and didn't find that stuff cute and adorable, she loves her job but it isn't all cute and adorable as people think.
Hose ladies didn't mean any offense but they don't have the experience working with those kids so they don't know. Just as these new CO's don't know.

Sorry I kind of took the long way around to get ere, but hopefully my point is understood.
You and I are on the same page anyways, it so rarely happens here, lol.

I just saw the last few minutes, thank a God because that was driving me nuts, I hope wherever he applies to next sees this series and doesn't hire him.

Now Ariel, if she wants to quit that's fine but you need to be professional and at last call in and quit.
Wherever you go to work next you have to put this job down as employment history and they are going to call for a recommendation, this isn't the way to get it.
Where are people learning common sense when it comes to employment I just don't get it.
