I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview opened emphasizing the necessity of using time wisely, and dove into the interview asking about how strict my teachers were in my K-12 education. She then had me roleplay a scenario in which I had to discipline a student for talking, and decribed the schools' "consequence" disciplinary system. She corrected my answers until I was being verbally aggressive to the hypotehtical student. The interviewer didn't ask about my education or experience, it was exclusively about discipline; I was clearly uncomfortable and the interviewer asked if I could handle the classroom disciplinary policies, in which I told her I was not interesting in speaking to children like she had instructed. She closed my application.
