Pros

Great curriculum, wonderful teachers and students

Cons

Inconsistent administration, some will support the company mission statement and philosophy while others only care about keeping parents happy through grade inflation. You will be reprimanded for following company policies and student work examples in the guidelines.

Pros

I enjoyed working at this company. The staff/teachers/directors were helpful and loved the relationships I had with my students.

Cons

Expectations for students performance are unreasonably high, especially with the amount of time given.

Pros

I worked with some of the most wonderful students I’ve ever taught. They are respectful and genuinely interested in learning. The teachers are delightful human beings, too.

Cons

You will be obsessively spied on through the one-way mirror each classroom has. You will be treated as an intellectual inferior. You will be made to rewrite tests and then, after you have done the rewrite, you will be told to throw your rewrite away and administer a completely different test. You will be made to regrade assignments. You will be “corrected” in class in front of you students. Your students will be told behind your back in another class that you have taught them incorrectly. Your authority will be undermined. You will work seven days a week. You will ultimately lose all joy you once had for teaching. And then you will leave.
