My
main complaint has to do with the techers that were
there when I attended. 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.
