Downers
The teachers get very little to no support. Teaching classes with no books or curriculum, no books incorrect versions of software. Also schedule conflicts i.e. the other day I was scheduled to tach a 3hr clas 1-4pm. at 9AM 3 students showed up for their 6hr class from 9AM - 4PM Do the math! The root of the problem is my boss is a very good saleswoman who knows little about computers and less about teaching, yet she micromanages both.
