Center for Responsive Schools reviews

In yet another fallacious review that the ED herself has written on this page, "These attacks on Dr. Hodges' character and her leadership skills stem from racism, and people who do not want to accountable for producing high-quality work" could not be further from the truth. Employees are working themselves to the point of exhaustion around the clock, only to be told they are worthless idiots, until they finally are abused and beaten down enough that they are forced to walk away. Then lies are spread about the reason they left to try to cover up the truth (as others have said, smoke and mirrors are her specialty) and they are replaced with one of the Executive Directors friends or family members who have no knowledge or background about the organization. This has nothing at all to do with racism. This has to do with the lack of respect and lies that the Executive Director continues to have for the employees and the organization year after year. Great leaders and ALL of our knowledge is walking out the door.

The company actively and purposefully does not practice what they preach. Communication from the top down is at best non-existent and at worst abusive. There is regular gaslighting from leaders that contributes to a culture of mistrust, fear, and work trauma. Half of the directors are not qualified for or knowledgeable about the work they are charged with and it shows. Turnover across the company is high and there's a good reason for that. The reason the turnover is high is not because of the "high expectations" of the company some reviews here state. Intelligent, talented, ambitious people have left due to the fact that they know their value and refuse to continue be berated and to exist in the horrific environment.
