Poor Leadership

Pros

The kids and families are the reason anyone stays. The work itself is meaningful.

Cons

Let me warn you about something called feedback fatigue, because I didn’t have a name for it until after I left. It’s what happens when constant, unproductive criticism flows from the top down and never lets up. It’s micromanagement in disguise, and it doesn’t matter how good you are at your job. You can be excellent and still walk away feeling like nothing you do is ever enough. Eventually you become anxious, defensive, and just numb. The CEO sets a tone where people are afraid to speak up, favorites are played openly until you’re not the favorite anymore, and certain staff get excluded from decisions that affect them. Workloads spike without warning, and burnout is met with indifference. Psychological safety doesn’t exist here. People are quietly pitted against each other rather than supported. Look up the public financial records yourself. The gap between executive compensation and what teachers and TAs actually make will tell you everything you need to know about where the priorities really are.
