      Working at home online teaching is awesome for the teacher and students!

      Pros

      Working at home online; very supportive administration; numerous effective educational programs; students have more opportunities to self-pace their education; teachers have more opportunities to provide better differential instruction.

      Cons

      Online schools depend on a triangular support system: the certified teacher providing curriculum instruction, the parent providing the physical support as the student's learning coach, and the student taking ownership of his/her educational responsibility. Often, it's the teacher working the hardest, which throws off this educational system. Many parents enroll into an online school thinking all that needs to happen is putting the student in front of the computer and they'll learn from there without the parent's support. Online schools are still a home school program, however, the advantage is that a certified teacher is providing instruction.

      New CIO a Bust - Students and Teachers should RUN

      It position

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Committed, ultra-hard working teammates. Some tech leaders trying to steady the boat but fighting an uphill battle.

      Cons

      Unclear why the new CIO was hired. Borderline sociopath with no technology skills or knowledge. Tech staff resignations continue and K12 technology and ability to support families and schools doubtful. CTO not much better. Who is doing the hiring?

      Pros

      The ability to work from home. I loved my colleagues. Often projects were challenging and no two days were alike. Benefits, PTO, and additional perks were excellent.

      Cons

      K12 is no longer the golden child it used to be. They have lost sight of their mission and do NOT put students first. If you want to work for K12 for altruistic reasons, RUN. They are now run like a true corporation. Money before mission. People are overworked, lied to, ideas are stolen, yes, stolen. The company's ethics are lacking. People are promoted not by merit, but to keep the "farce" going. Ask yourself why K12 continues to be investigated by states and the federal government. Leaving was the best thing I ever did. It was a difficult decision to make since I had been there for close to ten years. It was like a divorce. I learned a lot, but in the end, I realized that the company does not put their employees first and that EVERYONE is expendable.
