True Educators don't last here long

Pros

Most staff are dedicated and work hard to provide legitimate support to help young people earn a high school diploma. The vision is honorable. The local leadership tries to maintain a positive work environment. Benefits offered.

Cons

Pay seems decent until you compare your true earning power as a teacher at a traditional school where teachers get holidays and summers off. This is a year round job with only few days off. They will say you can request time off, but more often than not, it gets denied. Some staff practice unethical habits of allowing students to short cut their way through courses. Answers to all the quizzes are online. Standards of practice for staff are declared but not enforced, thus, a student can actually complete a rigorous course in one day and it gets passed off as a legitimate completion. Teachers are pressured to pass students through courses to meet quotas and those who do it in ethically seem to get praised regardless. High turnover of staff due to not meeting performance requirements or if you really have the heart of a teacher and can't overlook that much much actual teaching is going on.

Pros

Helping students achieve high school diploma

Cons

Management micro manages and always has a new procedure because the previous policy didn’t work in their eyes.
