      Best job I've ever had! (I've been here 5.5 years)

      Pros

      This group of people is more supportive than any other group of people I've worked for or with. They are patient, understanding of my needs, both personally and professionally, and they work with me as I need it. It IS A FULL TIME JOB. A lot of people think that working from home means you can work 10 hours a week and expect flexibility - this is not that job. However, they have never asked me to work more than 40 hours and they have great PTO for when I need time off. I love how student-focused our school is - we are here for the kids and we provide them with a unique environment to succeed.

      Cons

      There is some travel to the Atlanta area, but only 3 or 4 times a year and GCA reimburses for travel expenses so it's not too bad. The salaries are a bit lower than the brick and mortar schools, but they provide us with a laptop/printer & scanner/reimbursement for internet at the house, and I don't spend as much on business attire and gas getting to work every day. We also get performance based bonuses (that does NOT happen in brick and mortar) and that helps offset the pay discrepancy a little bit.

      Teaching at Its Best!

      Pros

      So great being able to dress down and also to be able to use the restroom whenever I needed to instead of having to hold it! Likewise, it was nice having flexibility in my schedule and the ability to "take my job with me" while traveling or going to doctor appointments. It was also wonderful to be able to teach without the behavior issues that occur in a brick-and-mortar classroom. Lastly, this was the first time in 15 years that I did not work evenings and weekends! The only time I worked outside of normal hours was during rare occasions when we had a big influx of new students and paperwork that was due. Of course that is because I busted my behind from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but it truly was possible to get the work done as long as you are diligent and do not allow yourself to get distracted by other things in your home. I absolutely loved working from home!

      Cons

      This is a totally different teaching environment and takes some time to get used to it. It is extremely overwhelming during the first six months due to there being such a huge learning curve. Most new people feel like throwing in the towel at some point during the first six months.

      Pros

      Flexibility day-to-day, working with the students/parents who want a better educational experience

      Cons

      Spreadsheet after spreadsheet showing the same students who have never logged in all year. If they don't want to do it, we really don't have any way to force them to. Blaming the teacher for those nonperformers, really? They never, ever, ever answered my phone calls, emails, message of any kid, so how is that my fault?
