Teachers Given No Autonomy and No Respect - High School English Teacher Georgia Cyber Academy Employee Review

Youth and friendships valued more highly than experience and knowledge. Days off are given, but blacked out so you can't use them. Forced to travel and pay for your own hotel rooms. Will not give any leeway on attendance or options to attend remotely as an ONLINE school to those who need alternatives due to family's health needs or own health needs. Fires people while they're on leave or out sick because they missed testing or PD during the absence. Disrespectful leadership. Far too much paperwork and red tape. WAY more than brick and mortar schools. Like the headline says, no classroom autonomy. Very experienced teachers watched like a hawk to lake sure they are following every step and point of the canned format for daily lessons. Spoken to like we are children. Pay still a bit low compared to state schedule. Charter schools have the option to use state insurance and follow state sick day and personal day schedule. They opt out of ALL the state rules, which cheats staff out of time, money, and their own health.
