The class has been playing "catch up" and the academics are greatly suffering without these men. Upon firing them, we lost a great instructor, who was the back bone of the program, and this is so proven in the comparisson of the last class' track record and ours.

They are, as well as the current students, being punished for something they did during their personal time. The school catered to the students who graduated from their program and in that process hurt those who are still currently in one. There are two sides to every story. The school seemed to quickly side on the opposite end of those graciously work under them.

Its because of these instructors that I chose this school to become a Paramedic and hopefully you take our words into consideration.
We honestly believe that the violation that occurred on their part shouldn't be taken to the extremes of termination while these instructors were already involved and received well at our class to then have them removed suddenly and possibly affecting overall class performance.

I can attest to the fact that they are outstanding instructors. I've also heard of their good reputation from current and past students, and from EMTs and Paramedics who've worked with our instructors in the field. We need them back in order to learn how to become outstanding Paramedics.
