Hi Arlene, Having been through a similar situation in my own career I can understand how frustrating this can be. I hope for the sake of your students and yourself that this situation was not repeated and that you were able to get things under control. Generally "instructors" like the one you described don't last long but they can do a tremendous amount of damage while they are there. Always maintain your professional attitude and you will come out the better instructor for it even though it may not seem like it at the time. I know I learned how to deal with such a situation plus I knew that I never wanted to be like that person. Gary
