and it's only Saturday! I need some extra prayers for wisdom and things. I'm not sure exactly how much I can say because of confidentiality, but I have to do what is the equivelent of firing someone. I have a student who is everything from disruptive to rude and disrespectful, bad attitude all the way around. The student is not retaining any of what they are being taught, regardless of the method of instruction (we've tried so many different menthods!). My job is to get people ready to re-enter the workforce. After twice as long as most students this person is not. The training is paid for by the state. This person is not 'work ready' and doesn't really even demonstrate a desire to learn/get a job. Basically this person needs thier disability declared severe enough that they are not able to work at this point. So it has been decided by the person's counselor (who authorizes payment) and several people from my orginization that this is not the best way to help this person.
We've gone well above and beyond (oh the stories I have!) and still not come out sucessful! I know we've done more than required, but I still feel like we are giving up. In some ways I am relieved, but I'm also dreading this terribly! I know it will either end in a big dramatic scene or it will end in a quiet but most likely still dramatic scene. I've only been working with this company since Feb and in this position since August. My boss was involved as well as another instructor with the decision and I trust thier judgement on this. But I feel bad about it, but this person has become so disruptful that other students look at this person with disgust! What a mess...
Sorry to be so long...I just needed to get it out!
