Pros
The freedom to build our own curriculum to teach in a way that is relevant to the children vs. just teaching from a forced curriculum without the ability to adjust to our classroom's needs. The intent of good team practices and team building is present (just not delivered upon.)
Cons
The school is run by a 'board' that is out of touch Teachers are literally afraid of the school leadership (sometimes job loss is implied as a way to get consensus) Teachers are now being 'forced' to visit students homes There is no real discipline for unruly children (hitting, vandalism) for fear of losing funding if a child is suspended/expelled. 80 hour work weeks are expected
