Pros

Staff Shoutouts, providing lunch and snacks for the staff members

Cons

I worked at KIPP DC and it was a total NIGHTMARE. The students were getting into FIGHTS every single day and Admin did absolutely nothing about it. KIPP is ran like a BUSINESS and not a school. They aim to please the students and the parents. They do not take into account what the teacher says. THE STUDENTS RUN THE SCHOOL. The school I worked at had 10+ teachers quit in the middle of the school year. Admin is the worst part of this school. They are very disrespectful and condescending. The principal is a BULLY. The teachers whom she feels she can’t bully are her FAVORITES and are treated fairly. The favorites can pretty much do whatever as they please and will have no consequences for their actions. The teachers whom the principal feels as though she can bully are treated as OUTCASTS and are not valued. There is a lot of favoritism at this school and the staff is cliquey. Some of the staff members in Admin are unfit and unqualified for their roles.
