It was an okay experience. - Teacher Hmong Academy Employee Review

Great community and students who want to learn.

Many students need support with reading and grade-level work.

*nice building /facilities * nice community building activities to do as a whole school

*favoritism *lack of appreciation for diverse world views other than Asian (not welcoming of BIPOC other than Asian- one of my black students came to me and said that “they would not work with him”) there is a real need for students and staff to embrace all races and have tolerance/ learn of other world viewpoints. * lack of support for staff * favoritism * dishonesty and unprofessional actions taken by administration * clock hours not given to staff when they earn them * lack of initial needed training (They don’t make up for it if you are hired after the training already happens) - you are a number * don’t expect to have the teaching position you applied and interviewed for. It will change last minute. * if you decide to leave, they will take your good supplies: the ones you worked for, brought yourself from working over summers and had as your personal teaching props and materials - and brought there - And they will pack up garbage and things that aren’t yours and are meaningless into boxes and give to you. * no accountability - waiting at a meeting and new teacher doesn’t show up. Management asks me why I am not helping her. I explain that I went to go get her and she was having tea but comes to me the morning of and asks me “What are we doing today ?” I tell them that I am spending all the time preparing and she isn’t showing up. They tell me that they expect me to help her. I cannot if she doesn’t show up. * asked a teacher to cover me during hall duty as I have to go to restroom. She agrees. Two students decide to go into my room and start a fight. Management brings me into office and holds me accountable saying that the kids’ fight is my fault (but I never see any of the admin in out hallway during passing time that year) And the schedule was not made for a break that would allow for a restroom Break - it had been more than a couple of hours. * basically blame but never support.
