Vantaggi
Relatively high pay Many skilled and well intentioned teachers Less draconian discipline practices
Svantaggi
No alternative disciplinary system was introduced. students faced no consequences and regular modes of discipline like after school detention were not initiated or enforced. Horrific teacher turnover, we lost over ten faculty members during the year and just as many at the end of the year. STEM team was decimated by three teachers quitting mid-year and the rest of the team quitting after the school year ended. Teachers are generally held responsible for institutional problems. Leadership offered little to no solutions to overall low staff morale. Teachers were constantly criticized for taking PTO while leadership took extended leaves of absence throughout the school year. Turnover among leadership and staff makes it impossible to build a stable thriving community.
