I have met some great staff members, amazing kids and families that will always have a special place in my heart.

Cons

Lack of accountability from leadership - they tend to place the blame on teachers Prejudice against teachers of color - many teachers of color do not have leadership roles and are often painted as challenging Impossible to give feedback on systems, routines, curriculum, etc. Lack of freedom in teaching style or instruction

We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
