Pros

Many teachers tried hard despite all the challenges

Cons

Even before the Wall Street Journal article about Tessellations made us the laughingstock of the Bay Area, there were so many problems. Ineffective leadership at the top. Endless meetings. Overbearing parents. Teachers and staff quitting or getting fired every year. Kids getting hurt. Families withdrawing their kids midyear. Licensing violations. Schedules and curriculum changing every year. Ongoing lawsuits by 3 former teachers and 1 family. Shutting down the high school with zero notice to families. Giving up giftedness screening to boost enrollment.
