High turnover, teachers treated as disposable

High school teacher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They have so much turnover that a desperate person might want to take a temporary job there, since they are constantly hiring.

Cons

Some classrooms have no textbooks. Others have outdated books. New employees have no protection if their boss targets them. Since turnover is so high, much of the admin is inexperienced and some treat employees poorly, but employees have no recourse when this happens. The district places no value on keeping a stable staff and throws teachers away rather than maintain open dialogue.

Co workers for the most part help each other and care for the students.

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary for teachers is higher than most states, but it also comes with a poor work environment.

Cons

No amount of money is worth the oppression that I’ve had to witness and endure. I was dismissed for my suggestions, gaslighted for being collaborative with other departments, and told that I needed training because my department chair did not understand, and actually failed to communicate with me before making assumptions about my ability and expertise. When I addressed my concerns, bandaids in the form of more meetings, was her solution.
