Run teachers into the ground - IB Teacher In DP (Pre-university Section) Chicago Public Schools Employee Review

CPS takes, takes, takes from teachers. I regularly worked 15-hour days. I coached a sport that was two seasons and my stipend divided out to .37 cents an hour between practices, games, and competitions. No appreciation for teachers, always an attitude of “why are you complaining” or “take what you can get.” I have two masters degrees—so I took their advice to “take what I can get” and got a job outside of the district where I doubled my salary an almost cut my workday in half. CPS is losing teachers who deeply care about their students because they treat them so horribly.
