Alternative schools are intense. Can we agree on that? Regardless of what you know or what you've heard about them, that's a basic statement we can work with. Instructors face enormous challenges, and have no choice but to be shaped into the special forces of teaching!
Alternative students don't act like you expect them to, and while you're feeling the pressure of hitting all the academic targets you've been tasked with, you quickly realize that these insanely talented, tough, sensitive, and promising youth have perhaps a greater need for teamwork skills, anger management, assertiveness, wellness, vision, and feelings of purpose. Therefore, in order to be effective there, THOSE are the EXACT qualities YOU must master and live out on a daily basis! And, who better to throw you into the fire and train you than the very students "the system" has underestimated, labeled, frustrated, and cast aside? Why not you?
