Business Outlook
Pros
Connecting with students at your school
Cons
1. I spent less than 2 hours in the classroom and was forced to lead a "study hall" where students played games on laptops and automatically received an A. I felt like a babysitter 2. After tax, my take home pay was $900. All CY members qualify for food stamps & management will try to tell you its a "benefit" 3. Teachers actively were hostile and did not want City Year at the school 4. Manager hardly showed up to work and when he did he left early. Yet, CY members are expected to work 10 hrs a day. 5. The "professional development" days were being told what a resume was.. nothing useful 6. Members at a nearby school were made to teach solo.. which is not allowed and should not happen.
