Pros

Great professional development. Some adminstrators are wonderful examples of educators.

Cons

Many of the teachers are trying to create a more inclusive school. The administration hesitates to let the school progress for fear of alienating the alumni (old rich white men). Some adminstrators are very belittling to staff and teachers.

Pros

Strong professional development opportunities for faculty.

Cons

Most teachers, students & parents are great, but admin has little trust in its faculty. They undermine them with constantly changing messages on expectations. It’s all about optics over outcomes. Whatever sounds good in the brochure. Compensation is also subpar.
