Pros

I was ecstatic to find a special education teacher role that was remote.

Cons

However, the classroom and systems were not set up for a successful remote educational setting.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your remote role didn’t meet expectations, and we understand how frustrating it can be when systems and supports aren’t fully in place to help you succeed. While we’re glad you were excited to join Menta in a remote capacity, we also recognize that excitement needs to be matched with the right tools, communication, and connection. Your feedback is important and helps us reflect on how we can better support every team member—especially those working in nontraditional environments.

Pros

-The main pro is the fulfillment you from working with this diverse and challenging group of children. - The amount of locations give you more variety in where you choose to work

Cons

-at my location the life skills children are taught in a open bay style class rooms. it is often very noisy and hard to get the students to concentrate. Often times one student being overwhelmed has a domino effect on the other students because of the constant noise -I don't feel respected as a professional and often time feel that I am suffering a punishment of others who worked here in the past. we are not allowed breaks or to leave the building for lunch. when I asked for clarity on the matter i was told that it is because staff in the past would leave for break and not return. I don't think its fair to punish everyone for the decisions of a few people. - Administration makes decisions without considering how it affects the staff that is left to execute said decisions. I don't feel respected as a professional and I often times don't feel heard by my admin team until something goes wrong. Our students haven't had a gym class all year due to a scheduling conflict. We communicated this in September, it is March and our students still don't have a gym class.
