First, I want to say that as a former employee of BCTI, I have to admit that it shames me now when I see former students out in public. My intentions were always the best, even though it now appears that I was in bed with the bad guys, BCTI. I was not! As a matter of fact, I HAD to leave due to the ethical questions I raised that never got any good solid answers.
I have seen Tony Curry mentioned on this site. I hope he is still reading these reports, because I know he will know who is writing this report. He and I were both of the understanding that things at BCTI were just plain wrong. We talked often about our own desire to help students find a better life, but it was difficult to ensure we could help, given the circumstances that were out of our control.
As an instructor it was difficult to truly dedicate enough time to the students who were trying to improve their skills. On many occasions the DI was telling me that a student who had spent maybe 5 days of the progress period in class, needed to be ready to graduate in a matter of days. How can an instructor manage to bring that person up to speed and give them their money's worth in a matter of days, help plan the graduation, and keep the rest of the class on track? It was a sad situation that the school took great advantage of.
Some of the DI's would push anyone through the program to make the numbers look good. Hypocracy and chaos ruled the environment.
I would like to say that there were some good people involved with BCTI. Many of them jumped ship as soon as an opportunity presented itself. Tony Curry, if you read this, you know who this is: so... KISSES! Lol
There were other good people who cared also, so for students reading this, know that some of us were there for the RIGHT reasons all along, until the right reasons made us very unpopular with our higher-ups. If any of you read this and remember my hotmail address, feel free to write.
BCTI, you knew it was coming and you hurt a lot of people. Shame, shame, to say the least. I hope all of the students that were victims of BCTI go out and make a difference in their lives just to spit in the eyes of those at BCTI who chose to get rich off of the misfortune of others.
