Pros

The teachers cared, and the children really did learn a lot. The curriculum was great. That's all I can say about the good.

Cons

Where do I start? The management didn't care about you unless you fit in to their political mold. They literally made me watch movies about how the public school system was set up like the Natzies. (What?) They wouldn't let me take time off for my husbands surgery or my cousins wedding. Even though I requested it a month in advance They treat you like you're an idiot Their rules are always changing. I wouldn't trust them to save my life. You I quit because I couldn't work for such a dishonest company

Pros

I took a job teaching at Challenger for two reasons: (A) Barbara Baker's vision, and (B) the tuition discount for teachers.

Cons

Now that Barbara Baker is deceased, the company is going DOWNHILL FAST. Barbara Baker had a true vision as an educator, but the jerks now in charge ONLY care about how much MONEY they can make! This explains why Challenger now plans to ELIMINATE our teacher's discount. I urge ALL teachers to go forward with the planned "teacher's strike" to protest Challenger's greedy corporatized ways!!

Disposable teacher

Pros

Everything is given to you - teacher manuals and keys, tests, worksheets, lesson plans. Good students in general.

Cons

Teachers are disposable and easily replaced, not appreciated or allowed to think for themselves and be your own. Management is inconsistent, unprofessional, not very experienced. Some treat you like idiots.
