Pros

Solid pay and benefits, kids are generally great.

Cons

Very intense place to work. Hours are generally 10-12 hours a day with little to no break. Turnover is very high for good reason. Philosophy revolves around punishing and shaming students for any failure to comply. No recess for kids and kids are robbed of time in specials if their test scores are not satisfactory. Teachers are forced to follow a script for lessons and cannot be creative in their planning of lessons. For the sake of your own mental health, I would steer clear. Speaking to other former employees, all have said (myself included) public schools have been a much more fulfilling experience.

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
