One alternate route man, however, was a complete disaster... he entered with a PhD in Environmental Chemistry and was hired as the new 'golden boy' in the chem department. OMG... when the mentors were there showing him the ropes it was fine, but when he transitioned into solo teaching the classroom was a war zone... kids running around, food containers all over... the kids just knew they were in charge.
This man came in with the attitude that with his PhD he could simply walk in and the teenagers would be in thrall of his knowledge of chemistry. We all tried mightily to assist him, but with our own workloads we couldn't babysit this guy all the time, even with two mentors and the assistance from the supervisor and the department chairman. He lasted until Thanksgiving break and disappeared, never to return. He probably ended up in some industry somewhere badmouthing our school and the teaching profession.
