Pros

Nice place to work. Minimal direct instruction and grading. You see students one-on-one once a week (if the kid bothers to show up) to turn in HW and assign new HW. Nice friendly staff, all teachers are in one giant room which is kinda fun compared to traditional school. (if you are at a big site, some of their sites are no bigger than a single room with limited amenities) . No bells. Nice pay and bennies for the work load. leave at the end of the day and leave the worries of the day behind.

Cons

This company is allowing a complete take over by Options for Youth. (They view them as their main competition) This is very annoying because new principals and management are from OFY and they favor their own. That is why I left. Also, this company claims 100% ADA (how schools make money) for so much as a scrap of work from a student. Yes, one lousy, poorly completed assignment and the company will claim every hour of every day for the entire month!! This is what teachers at traditional schools babysit full classes all day for! As a result they have very deep pockets...So, I felt very dishonest working here. (but those feelings fade over time, ha!) I just don't know how it is legal... But trust me, if the school were to ever get audited, they would blame you and you would loose your credential. (another reason I left) lots of other issues with controlling admin that just sit around and drink Starbucks. Really, they do almost nothing and make heaps of cash, it's crazy. No summers off sucks too. Actually, you will work twice as hard during the summer!

Pros

-6 hours (despite you getting the job and then they try to tell you that you have to work 8 but won’t legally write that down since it’s not legal) -can make a difference for some students

Cons

-admin hires their family and those people do nothing -admin team out for not doing their job but can’t take criticism, blames it on all of the teachers and team while they do nothing all day and gossip -large amounts of favoritism and nepotism at the Chula Vista site -students don’t graduate -10% grad rate and can confirm. They use kids as numbers to blame teachers, but the kid will never graduate -have recently been bribing students with credits to speak about the school favorably when the news comes around -a lot of teachers let students cheat and admin supports it -an extremely hostile work environment where admin allows teachers to scream at one another, no intervention, and threaten staff -crazy work, deadlines, and lack of accountability as to where teacher funding goes
