Pros

No accountability, so you can do whatever you want as long as you're white, especially a white man (I am one).

Cons

Almost completely run at the network level by white people, serving 90% black students, what could go wrong? End up berating kids for lack of compliance with behavioral expectations, rather than acknowledging trauma and teaching kids how to work through challenges. Teachers overworked, so they cut corners and focus on the kids who make it easy for them.

Pros

Excellent health benefits and a full-year schedule.

Cons

Students and teachers aren't given sufficient resources because the organization is top-heavy. Teacher turnover is ridiculously high. All materials are made from scratch with no support from DCI's in a distant main office.

Pros

The team I worked with at Renew was the most dedicated hard working group I have ever worked with. They were incredible.

Cons

The bureaucratic red tape from the network was frustrating. Most schools have too few teachers and to many school leaders.
