Why do I always get the crap jobs? I just quit my job working as an English teacher at a residential treatment facility for mostly gang members from Philadelphia. Right before I started working there a therapist had molested some of the teens. Then just last week a Unit Staff(staff who spend all day/night with the teens) molested her unit of teens. Then a couple of days later a ran away. The police were not even called. And Administration's response to this was to fire the principal. Okay, I don't get it. The Education Department had nothing to do with the Therapy Department or the Unit Staff. They said he didn't follow procedure on a few things. I found out later that he spoke unfavorably of the molestation cases and Administration's response to it and well he should have. It was the people in Admin. who should have been fired, especially The Director. Anyway, I gave them my two weeks that day. The Director however did not have the integrity to honor this and told me to turn in my badge immediately. That's fine, it's better than risk my teaching certifications at that crazy place. It's sad when you are more afraid of administration than the murdering teens you have to work with. |

you might want to look at developing your own business. and get certifications to handle some of the PTSD cases from the military. they are certainly going to need an outreach natured intergration of people to help.

After working in prisons for 21 years I can understand you dilema. What I have learned is that people all respond different when they have authority/power over others. I always made it a point to remember that "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Neal, I think administration became like the kids they attended to, so odd. Anyway, I've got an interview with another RTF on Monday. This one is for a therapy job. Pup
