Freedom at a school where management trips over itself - Teacher RDF International School Employee Review

Pros

The school leaves you alone, for the most part. For some teachers this is great: It gives them the freedom to experiment and work the way they prefer to. For others, especially those that need guidance or encouragement, it might not be a perfect fit.

Cons

The school has run through three principals in the last three years. Each upheaval in management comes with a lack of trust and the newest principal does not seem able to make competent management decisions - undermining his own authority with bad initiatives or, worse, going along with what he's been told by the board without reflection upon its effects.

Pros

During my time, many of the teachers were excellent. Unfortunately, ownership decided to cut salaries by 30-40% and push out the good teachers.

Cons

The owner, Mona, is as clueless as she is arrogant and disrespectful to her entire staff. Despite hiring qualified leadership, she insists on micromanaging and pushing her personal agenda ahead of what is best for the school and students. The principal is a total figurehead, with no fortitude or power. Run, don't walk, in the other direction. Oh, and the owner is openly racist, on multiple occasions saying she "prefers to hire white teachers."

Pros

Most of the teachers are talented, professional, and hard working. Most students are quite good.

Cons

RDF is doing a lot of illegal and unethical things. I was being asked to cover up these illegal activities. Also, the ownership and HR are not to be trusted, no matter how nice they seem. They stole money from numerous employees and fired several employees without and due process or notice. They have also decreased salaries by over 30% in the last 2 years.
