Dare I hope?

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.

I hope that things will work out for him. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Some people thrive in an environment like that. Good luck to him. Maybe he can make a difference to some young people who have been given up on.

I have a friend at work (we work it IT) but she counseled troubled teen boys on the weekend to earn extra money. She said it really wasn't all that bad she actually enjoyed the boys for the most part. From what you say about your husband I think he sounds perfect for this job, kudos for him for wanting to help these boys, they need him.

He called today and they said it was in somebody else's hands. Hubby accepted that as an excuse to say "you don't have the job" and I told him to call the other person -- it doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have the job, it just means he has to convince the person that they need to make an exception for him!

We filled out a few more things online today. One is actually pretty good. The other? He'd be so far in over his head.

I agree wholeheartedly!! Call this "other person" Convince them that YOU are the perfect person for the job. Believing in yourself can give you an edge.

Dare?

No, go into fourth gear and dump the clutch.

That's the only way to find out what the 'baby' will do.


Wear your seatbelts.

Call, call and call. The squeeky wheel gets greased.

Perhaps your husband could ask the woman you met to give him a name...an introduction? Having a "name" always helps.
