Learn4Life Concept Charter Schools reviews

Directives come down from on high with little to no warning or explanation. Generally these directives add a later of bureaucracy to your already full schedule or they add a responsibility that doesn't help you get your job done. Teachers are held to strict goals in terms of getting kids to turn work in, doesn't matter if the student just had a baby or moved or you have no working contact number for them. Admin is not really interested in "excuses" just results. Teachers are not really trusted to manage students and are given very strict and inefficient rules on how to do everything from calling kids to making appointments. THERE IS NO PAY SCALE for advancing in salary as time goes by or as you obtain more education. They've changed the teacher salary over the years so teachers who've been there longer make more than new teachers with no hope of ever catching up or increasing your own salary.

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!
