Pros
Great students, no work to take home, open space forces you to collaborate with colleagues and have open communication. School staff is generally supportive and positive.
Cons
Benefits more complex than the script of Inception, upper management is repressive, condescending and seems to be bored out of their mind so they have teachers fill endless excel sheets that get discarded the following quarter. The company is completely dissociated with the actual goal and population they serve, they use old and irrelevant pedagogical methods, Kansas University methodologies are the only way to go for them and they refuse to look elsewhere. The salaries are low and every year you get a little presentation where they make you believe they are the highest paying charter school in town, this is a lie. Teachers with graduate degrees are hired under 40K! There's also no real fall or spring break, the last two quarters are extremely difficult and full of anxiety. I observed a lot of racial and ethnic biases from upper management that I found appalling. If your name is somewhat unusual they will not make any effort to pronounce it correctly -even after being corrected- and that says a lot about a company and their inclusivity mindset. Everyone is son-of, nepotism is abhorrent especially when teachers with post-graduate degrees and year of experience are treated like incompetent children. And finally, this is not a real teaching job, they will say they are not a credit mill, but that is what they truly are. Which is fine, credit mills can get all kinds of students out of trouble, but let's call a spade a spade.
