Pros

Uncommon schools always tend to have incredible teams of teachers working around the clock to create the best learning environments possible for students. They have pretty well established systems of discipline and positive school culture. Kids largely want to be there. Families are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged as a teacher. The "no-excuses" approach to discipline and academics can get in the way of making meaningful connections with students. You will spend an unbelievable amount of hours developing, grading, and evaluating quarterly assessments.

Pros

Uncommon Schools is a really positive, warm environment. People work hard and have tons of joy in their collaboration!

Cons

We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
