The Bradley Girl's School was a private school for girls. One September Wednesday, a teacher suddenly quit her post there, and the Girls' school found it hard to find someone that would work there. The school was kind of strict on the teachers because they were worried about the kids that went there. Therefore, teachers had to be able to stay with their classes the whole day, even during lunch, and even when their kids go to specials, the new teacher would need to teach PE. If the teachers had to use the bathroom, they had to call for assistance from the office, and then wait for someone to watch the class for them so they could do so, and so had to be able to hold it up to an hour at times. The teachers were also responsible for taking their classes on learning but relaxation days at least once a month, sometimes, the trips continuing for two days, where the kids would come back to school and go home for the night, but then come to school only to be carted off where they were the day before.... The school had a lot of money for its programs because it was a charter school, and the charters were trying to see if kids might learn better through natural experiences rather than just being at one building all the time. Susan Myers got tired of the substitutes seeming to leave the PE classes with no cohesion, and she was tired of the third graders getting a different substitute teacher every two or three days, so she finally did something she probably shouldn't have. She reached out to her old friend who had been in the Army before. If anyone knew about physical fitness, it would be an old Army grunt, right? So Susan called her old friend, and she knew he was between employment at the moment anyway. "Listen, ___________, I know you are looking for work, unless you found something?" "You haven't? Great. I have a position that really needs filled badly. If you just report to work on Monday, I'll fill you in on the details. Please come to the Bradley Girls' School at six on Monday. Normally, you don't need to be there until 7:30, but I need to fill you in on a lot of stuff before the students get there. We can do a trial, and if you like the job, and it looks like the kids are doing better than with substitute after substitute, then you'll be hired full on with benefits? Is that okay with you?" It was nearing the middle October, and the class was supposed to have an upcoming trip to a candy factory and a little Halloween theme haunted house experience at the end of the month, and Susan really hoped to get the class used to one teacher before that, because third graders would likely need someone they trust if they got scared from the haunted house....
