Pros

- Great/healthy/positive culture at my school site - Wonderful mission and vision at KIPP LA - Super pay - much better that LAUSD - Amazing benefits - 100% Employer covered

Cons

- They overwork you. I consistently worked 70 hours a week - Each school behavior management is different. All KIPP LA schools are serving high need students, and most of them have students with many behavioral needs. We just didn't have enough staff/resources to help the students that needed it. So there were many behavioral issues in each classroom, disrupting learning - High turnover, because of the unreasonable workload

Pros

While they did have access to a lot of materials, they never seem to have access to the right materials. I was able to develop programs and get resources my students needed.

Cons

Terrible administration with no experience, terrible budgeting, terrible managing other teachers, refused many times to get supplies. Students needed refused work, brakes or lunch breaks, never offered support known for not having a lot of returning teachers because of the culture and climate, focused heavily on teachers being compliant to them not to the students, was worried more about having power over teachers by inflicting. Long days. Lots of deliverables and a lot of busy work that benefit of upper management or management way more than it ever benefited students or teachers. Seem to support more management than they ever did Parents or teachers or students
