Korrnell Academy Coworkers FAQ

Pros

Salary, some students, nice campus, good colleagues

Cons

Awful, incompetent management; micromanagement; stingy; talk to you like you are a cockroach they’re trying to squash; fights over basic things; school too mean to have AC on in May lower than 28 degrees: it’s HOT in those classrooms, and kids cannot concentrate. Everything a show, in particular the American textbooks used which are culturally and linguistically out of our students’ range; far too many activities at the expense of classroom learning; managers who refuse to negotiate with their teachers - my way or highway approach; emails sent to teachers to nitpick and annoy, deploying threats and insults. Same occurs at the weekly meeting. Teacher turnover extraordinary high; dark, depressing school to work in. Staff are sad and overworked, and most just cannot wait to leave.

Advice to Management

They should retire.
