Pros
Teachers are graduates from local and worldwide universities
Cons
10-14 hour days. Barely a break for the restroom or lunch. Administration stresses teachers they don't like by piling bad kids into rooms of teachers they aren't in favor of. KIPP DC has a behind the scene saying that all employees must be "Kippnotize" that is a way of being part of the clique, Everyone sounds like a robot. Once children throw chairs, hit, kick, fight and abuse teachers nothing happens. You are told to ignore this behavior. No support from the big money makers...Headquarters. Whose office space is in Georgetown DC, the highest rent district in Washington DC, right along the Potomac River next to the Kennedy Center. Ummmm...KIPP assists underprivileged children but has a office in an area where poor people aren't even familiar. Several hidden agendas. More thirsty for money then providing quality salaries to teachers. You are not expected to use any of your leave even if you have to go to the doctor. Do not work here. You'll regret it. None of the executives send their kids to KIPP!
