Pros

None for the people who teach kids directly. Decent pay for Site Directors and assistants. At-will employment instead of a teaching contract.

Cons

Low pay for the tutors means it's impossible to keep tutors. So, site directors end up doing all jobs. The worst part is the convoluted lessons. A class is sectioned into two parts, one where kids work in groups with a tutor, and a second half where kids work independently on Saga's own learning software. The tutors have to follow a Saga created lesson, then the kids do a similar, but never identical lesson on the software. It's like kids are in 3 math classes at once. The money that school districts spend on Saga could be better spent on hiring more teachers, paying their own teachers more, or hiring tutors after school to work on what kids are doing in their actual math classes.
