      Fine but not really

      Pros

      Direct supervisor was great. Students made the days better.

      Cons

      This could be a novel but short version: Administration was overbearing and not considerate of teachers. Often felt like I was replaceable, yet they no longer offer the courses I taught now. Unreasonable expectations of teachers and focus on things that actually don't matter. If you value your mental health, don't work here. I went on medication for my anxiety after working here for less than a year.

      Pros

      I loved my team; decent teacher culture

      Cons

      Incredibly long work hours, compensation lower than most KC schools and asked to do more. Very little consistent behavior support

      Pros

      The students are great. They're kids so naturally, they'll have their good days and their bad days, but they're great kids. The sense of community you feel with your fellow teachers is amazing because you are truly stuck in the trenches together.

      Cons

      Admin is either working themselves to oblivion by making up work that doesn't necessitate daily, hours-long meetings "off the floor" so that their students don't know who they are and teachers are left for themselves (but not when it comes to observations and feedback). Pay is wildly disproportionate to the amount of work you actually put in. There is NO professional development relevant to veteran teachers coming in with 4+ years experience outside of EMKS. Be prepared to be gaslit. If you're a new, first-year teacher, you will feel like everything you do is wrong and the support you receive only exists to ensure you don't quit. If you're a veteran teacher, you will still be made to feel like everything you do and know is wrong and that their way is the only way. The culture among adults can be cliquey (those who joined the school in its first few years/people who drink the kool-aid/everyone else) in particular, but there are many cliques.
