Charter Schools USA Reviews

Pros

Pay for time that public schools expect you to give for free.

Cons

Mandatory meetings after school hours.

Pros

not many to put here.

Cons

The gross negligence of Corporate leadership. There is no structure. Money is misappropriated and then suddenly the budget is off each year leaving board members to bang their heads with how. Part of it would be the magic withdrawals from Florida. Staff is worked like we are in the 1860's Regional leadership turnover is equivalent to the line at Mc. Donalds Drive thru, Grants are misappropriated or never drawn down from headquarters. Then SOA is blamed. Unethical behaviors go one with no recourse. The schools they run have nothing to do with kids and only to better line their pockets, We all aren't saying the same thing for no reason. DPI needs to shut them down. 504 's and IEP are not being properly maintained.

Pros

Some well-meaning colleagues and administrators Flexible Curriculum Resource Teachers that meet you where you are Pay for covering classes during planning periods

Cons

Unreasonable expectations - too many children in the classroom, students sitting on floor due to lack of desks and chairs, too many students with IEPs and 504s in one class, policies are more important than students Resource Officer escalates conflict and intimidates students, has poor boundaries with teachers, interrupts instruction with no regard for the teachers Principal lacks foresight and effective communication of procedures, frequently makes promises that cannot be kept and provide inconsistent explanations, low follow-through Teachers and parents must provide copy paper in addition to materials for the arts and other electives

Pros

emotional satisfaction when you see the students thrive

Cons

long work days, very low pay and administrative pressure

Nothing good to say About the job.

Cons

Nothing was organized. Continuous change.

Cons

Admin changes a lot. Too much micromanaging

Pros

There is a lot of red tape, bureaucracy and mess. However, once you get past that, its a great place to work

Cons

Again, its a lot of red tape, bureaucracy and mess

Pros

Great company to work for. Supportive administration.

Cons

Workload is too much. Too many students for Specials (fine arts) wheel teachers.

Pros

very flexible hours competitive pay

Cons

not much support bad managment

Pros

If you're on the good list, you have potential to have a higher job title and more responsibilities

Cons

Where to begin? They can pay people more, but choose not to. The "non profit" boards are in their back pocket. Everything is a sham. Business incest on the backs of tax payers and taking from students and schools that need it. All to fund the owners' lavish lifestyle (several homes, boats, and a jet). Workplace gaslighting at its best. Bait and switch is common. Loyalty is rewarded over performance. Fool the right people, and you're fine. They'll make you think "it's like this everywhere" which is untrue. How they've not been found out about the misuse and abuse of money, is absurd.
