Emergency certs are differenet here. You have a permanent job (unless you screw up and do something worthy of being fired) and you have 3 years to complete the necessary classes and take the test for the permanent certificate.

This place is actually a juvenile deteniton center The hours are til 2:00, which means he can be home by 2:30 to continue babysitting Cameron since Ashley works nights. Its also year-round, so no summers off. Its not exactly a school that attracts a lot of teachers. Hubby... well, he's never been a typical teacher He's stayed in the inner city to help make a difference in the kids' lives. In a place like juvie, he'll have nothing but the "bad seeds" and that doesn't scare him because he knows he has the classroom management skills. And he hopes he'll be able to make a difference in their lives. Yup, he's a big dreamer!

In short, juvie is actually a great place for him. Most people would think he's nuts... which is why they're always looking for teachers. Most teachers would only go there as a last resort - and even then, is only because they couldn't find a job anywhere else. And here, hubby is eagerly seeking it out.
