Pros
Great teachers and great to work with when you actually do Good leadership Work from home
Cons
- Pay is AT LEAST $8k+ lower than a comparable teacher... but you "work from home..." so you don't have to pay for clothes or wear & tear on your car - Benefits are expensive and not fully covered like other districts - They used COVID-19 to enroll more students, didn't provide more pay for the 20+ extra students per class - Little time off when you start and you don't get a sub... soooo its extra work the day you get back - Pearson shareholders are more important than students - No union - I have a hard time believing anyone above the state director is actually in it for children - You ultimately work for Pearson, who is a questionable company - They're talking about not awarding raises/bonuses next year because of government funding, even though Pearson made a lot of money last year (CEO made well over $6m) - Many of the students have failed at other schools, so you will have a lot of students and parents who aren't invested in their schooling - working from home can actually be pretty boring if you are a teacher and are used to talking with students and staff on a daily basis
