Los Angeles Job Corps Center/YWCA LAJCC The fired my teacher and I want her back. Los Angeles, California
They don't really care about the students at Job Corps. All they care about is the money they get from the government. If the government finds out how bad they are to us they would shut them down.
The best teacher I ever had in my life was fired because Mrs. Rosser hated her.
She taught us how to read better, write better and our TABE scores came up high, too.
She made us laugh in class but was strict and made us learn. We know she loved us and that old b*tch got rid of her and laughed about it when she told us.
They got a real teacher who worked hard and made our class feel like a family and now she's gone forever.
The vocational training I was supposed to get is a joke, too. They lied about having a class for us to learn to install solar panels. The place is a dump and they are liars.

Hello, this is Trevor Campbell, and I represent Pittsburgh's Job Corps center.
This is a strong observation I've been learning while my currently 9-month stay at Pittsburgh Job Corps. These staff members would be attracted to something that says they are helping unprivelidged youth. Depending on their moral views, they'll either work their job's duties for one of two parties: the above staff or the students.
- The staff members who are working to impress the supervisors and centre director, no matter how the students suffer. Those staff members will likely last years and eventually get promoted to wherever they want to go.
- The staff that help students no matter what are the staff that get fired and dismissed, or resign, as their help for student becomes too conflicting with the above staff that particular staff member gets burned for standing up to the students. These are the staff members that last just within a year's range and are replaced as their commitment to Job Corps ends.
I've been witnessing this throughout Pittsburgh's center, where safety, equality and not feeling insecure is like finding a needle in a haystack.
