Pros
Lunch, teaching supplies and technology are provided.
Cons
Students bully staff. Parents bully staff. Staff bullies other staff. All of this is swept under the rug. Victims are blamed, isolated, and asked to shift their behavior in order to belong.
You will begin excited about community and end up questioning your own self-worth. EA was a brutal, isolating experience. It was dehumanizing. There are some well-meaning educators, but enough bad actors are present in high positions to corrupt EA’s stated values (“stripes”).
