Florida Virtual School reviews

FLVS requires work from 8am-8pm and they will assign those who are effective and efficient busy work to make sure that you are at your desk 12 hours. Management showed no interest in individualizing education or in making sure that learning goals were met. They were interested in pushing students through quickly. Teachers have close to 200 students in their classrooms and can wake up daily to 50-100 assignments that require grading. Managers want 40-50 out-going calls each day, and also expect 24/7 responsiveness to texts and emails. Expect health problems, like weight gain, blood pressure irregularity, etc from being seated for 12 hours a day. The salary increases are intermittently frozen. Being highly effective does not guarantee your continued employment, advancement, or increase in salary. If you have been with FLVS for a while and are paid higher than the minimum, they may find a reason to fire you or force you to resign to higher a cheaper replacement. If you are a mom of a young child, expect to be targeted. The need for work-life balance is seen as a problem among some managers. "Everyone is replaceable" was the tagline my last manager repeatedly stated.

Unrealistic demands. Expected to work 60+ hours a week. Stressful. Pushing students through because of $$$.
