Pros

Staff is young and vibrant and generally kind.

Cons

All the responsibility of student behavior is placed on teachers with little to no admin support. The way they see it is teacher's are responsible for class culture so if students are continuously violent and/or misbehave with a sub then the teacher's culture is "just not strong enough". The amount of paperwork placed on teachers is unrealistic especially given we are in front of children 8 hours a day when most schools alot 6. There's an "inclusion model" so students who truly need one-on one support are left behind because they are placed in class with everyone else. Lastly, procedures and expectations change almost weekly and it's impossible to keep up or feel like you've succeeded.

Pros

While they did have access to a lot of materials, they never seem to have access to the right materials. I was able to develop programs and get resources my students needed.

Cons

Terrible administration with no experience, terrible budgeting, terrible managing other teachers, refused many times to get supplies. Students needed refused work, brakes or lunch breaks, never offered support known for not having a lot of returning teachers because of the culture and climate, focused heavily on teachers being compliant to them not to the students, was worried more about having power over teachers by inflicting. Long days. Lots of deliverables and a lot of busy work that benefit of upper management or management way more than it ever benefited students or teachers. Seem to support more management than they ever did Parents or teachers or students
