Pros

non come to mind except for how amazing the students are

Cons

Tons of cover ups within the network- not telling staff when fellow teachers leave (5 since the beginning of the year), covering up a situation where a principle physically assaulted a student, Extremely poor work/ life balance- it feels like either you work on 200% or you're going to be singled out and questioned as to why you can't keep up when most of the staff is struggling, Sink or swim mentality.

Achievement First Response
7y
The last couple of months have not been a proud time for AF. But one thing that I am proud of is that when we mess up, and we truly did so here, we commit to making it right. If you want to talk more about your experience email me tomkaiser@achievementfirst.org. You can read more about our response to the incident here (https://chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2019/02/28/achievement-first-amistad-discipline-no-excuses-changes/).
