Learning Lab Reviews

*Lack of feedback and guidance; frustration occurs when you ask any questions and there are very little options for professional development or additional training. *Lack of autonomy as a teacher; everything such as lesson plans, class rules, etc. needs to be approved by administration. *Lack of student and staff diversity. If you are of a lower socioeconomic status or are not white, you may struggle to fit into the culture of this school. *Parents will get upset over bad grades and demand they be changed *Lack of job security; the job is a semester to semester contract which means you are not guaranteed a continued job after each semester ends. *There is a lot of academic dishonesty that gets overlooked because everyone is afraid of upsetting students or their parents. *Because outside substitutes are not available, be prepared to sub for other teachers' classes *Classroom management can get difficult because there are not many widely enforced rules for students

-Poorly managed: the owner has no education experience, makes terrible business decisions, and bullies his employees with threats of legal action and harsh words. There is high turnover among administration team as a result. -Terrible hourly pay, no salary options for teaching staff, and no benefits, PTO, or sick days. If school is canceled, you are sick, or you take time off, you don't get paid. -You have to sign a non-compete even though it's a school (won't hold up in court) -Tons of OSHA violations (time theft, everyone is kept a contract worker so the owner doesn't have to pay salary or provide benefits, very few safety and security measures in place)
