Sets students up for failure - Special Education Teacher Assistant The Menta Education Group Employee Review

Response from The Menta Education Group Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear you appreciated the flexibility and independence in the role, but we are deeply concerned about the challenges you described at our Plainfield location. Educational and Therapeutic Support: We are committed to ensuring that our programs remain structured and therapeutic. While experiences may vary by campus, it is never our intention for students to spend extended time without meaningful academic or social-emotional engagement. Leadership is actively reviewing programming and supports to make sure students are receiving instruction and guidance that prepares them for long-term success. Safety and Staffing: Student and staff safety is our highest priority. We know that under-staffed environments put strain on everyone, and we are continuing to recruit, train, and retain strong team members. We also provide ongoing crisis-prevention training so staff feel equipped to manage challenging behaviors safely. Fairness and Staff Support: We hear your concerns regarding favoritism, break schedules, and workload distribution. We are committed to reviewing practices to ensure equitable support and respect for all staff members. Professional Standards and Transparency: We expect all staff to model professionalism and actively support students. We also recognize the importance of pay transparency and continued professional development, and these remain areas of focus for our leadership teams. Your input highlights areas where we must improve. While we regret that your experience led you to leave, we take this feedback seriously and will continue working to create safer, more supportive environments for both students and staff.
