Pros

>The network is making a huge impact upon the education of minorities in Chicago. >College completion rate of its students is 23% higher than the national average for African Americans and Latinos. >This pro refers to my own campus, Noble Street College Prep: It tries very hard to care for, retain and promote each student, the motto is: Love and High Expectations.

Cons

>Teacher salaries are 30% lower than Chicago Public Schools. >However, Pals and network administration get paid on par with Chicago Public Schools (what gives?). >Be prepared to work long hours -- that is expected from charter schools, but makes pay differential between Admn and staff all the more unfair.

Pros

Decent pay, pretty great benefits, pension,

Cons

Many. No feedback on performance, different noble school allow paras to get summers off, paid/unpaid, must work all summer. It’s so inconsistent. LBS1s at times don’t do their jobs and expect para to lead, yet we don’t get paid for that, prioritize test scores and gpa gaps but not actual learning, all teachers are expected to pass kids at the end of the year. Standards base grading is absolutely hurting these students and their retention in college.
