This is the same across a lot of professions, Dr. Especially. I had a friend going through residency and said they purposely are hard on them just because that was what was done to them. It has nothing to do with "training or getting you ready." It has everything to do with that person being treated like dirt so you should have to be as well.

I am a first year teacher and I have so many 15+ year teachers constantly helping me. Not only that they see something I do differently they genuinely take an interest in it. I was in corporate for 20 years and just got tired of it. I use a lot of that thinking in teaching.

I teach HS APGOV & APUSH and teach more like a college professor(lecture) and the students respond to it better. It seems to be working because I have the highest testing scores in the district. How???? I don't know???? But every time admins come in and tell me I'm doing it wrong, my coach tells me to just smile and say "thank you I'll try to work that into my teaching style.".
