Rebecca Riley was new to the College, the move from the city was a big step for her, but it was one she needed to take. After applying for countless jobs as a community college teacher, she was lucky she landed this one. It was certainly a tough job, much tougher than teaching children. Still, it was a job and she needed the money. Teaching adults, especially ones who are criminals was going to be a challenge she thought, but the money was good, and the bonus was even better, and so any doubts she had about the arduous nature of the job was quashed by the financial incentive. The scheme was brought in to give 18 to 25 year olds a chance at redemption and to give them a second chance at education, though, this did not appeal to the students but the fact that it was this or prison certainly did. The scheme was in its infancy stage, and had not progressed onto being rolled out for all students, but instead, a small number of teachers and students were selected for the programme and the aim was that if they remain at college for a year, they would receive no prison sentence. For the teachers, there was the base salary and a bonus for every student who passed. This was one of the main reasons why Miss Riley decided to take part, she calculated if there was a class of 30, she could be getting an extra $15,000 each year and if she was teaching night classes too, that would be $30,000 if they all passed. She knew this would be tough and maybe even dangerous, but if she could get all her students C or higher, she would be making serious money. It would be tough, but it beats teaching children Rebecca thought.
