I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of teaching, and also with the kindness and openness of the faculty. The 8 teachers I have had so far have exceeded my expectations: They have been supportive, friendly, and overwhelmingly competent. I highly recommend ABTech as a transitional or 2 year experience, I am so, so thankful for my time there! Scholastic Success: A+, Social Life: D Have a Question?

Radiology teacher was unfair and treated some students very badly. This teacher knew nothing about impartiality; was very immature even though at the time had to be in her 50's, and did everything she could to make my 2 years there the worst I have ever experienced. I have worked with other students from other Rad Tech programs and learned that they were and are treated as adults; not singled out to be "picked on" by a teacher who disliked them for no better reason than she didn't like their faces. I complained at that time to the director of all the medical curicuulums about the unfair treatment I was receiving. He brought this teahcer into his office and she "blew up", yelling about how she hated me and called me a bad name. He saw at that time what kind of a teacher I had been dealing with; but did nothing as the rest of my class would not testify to the treatment I had received, that they had witnessed all along, and had sympathisized with me about. After the director had left, the class told me that even though telling the truth was the "right" thing to do, they didn't want to see anyone lose their job. My GPA was high enough to earn me High Honors, in spite of all the difficulties I had there; but my name was somehow left off the list at graduation, and High Honors was not called out after my name when I walked across the stage. Since the seal was on my diploma, I called A-B Tech the next day and was told that this same teacher had neglected to include my name for those honors on the list. I wasn't surprised. She also kept me from getting my first job after graduation by giving a potential employer a very bad reference. I was able to get a job, thankfully, by explaining to the next employer about the way I was treated in school - she gave me a chance; and through that job I was finally able to break free from a very bad past at A-B Tech. I was promoted 3 times within a year on that job; and have done very well since then. I survived A-B Tech's Rad Tech program; a guy in the class behind me did not. He was also singled out and unfairly picked on by this same teacher - he would call me on a weekly basis to complain as he knew I could understand and could definately sympathisize. He was scared that he wouldn't graduate because of this teacher - kept telling me how she was trying to get the techs in clinical to evaluate him badly, (she did the same to me). I had wrongly told him not to quit since he was so close to graduation - I had not realized how emotionally fragile he was; and how badly all this was affecting him. I realized it when I was told he had killed himself, but by then it was too late. Unbelievably, this teacher attended his funeral; and cried harder than anyone else there. Guilt???!!! I personally think so. Too bad my class didn't tell the truth when asked - I do beleive tis guy would be alive today if they had. Thankfully this teacher is no longer at A-B Tech - the chairman of the program, who did nothing about this teacher, has passed away. I hope the program is now run by compassionate, mature, and impartial teachers; and is conducted along the lines of the bigger technical colleges where the students are treated with respect, rather than like a reformatory as it was when I attended. Because of all this; and because nothing was done "to rein this teacher in", I would never recommend A-B Tech to anyone. If a student has a problem there with a teacher, they are on their own.

In my view, people learn from mistakes and you can build people up with positive comments and attitudesor destroy the love and drive and passion they have for something by being negative and that is what happened to me no longer do I love to cook anymore, I do not even want to return to a classroom and feel the negative attitude .
