Success Academy Reviews

Walk me through the logic here guys... you want to help low-income students escape poverty and exploitation by actively exploiting your staff? You shouldn’t virtue signal when you yourselves are furthering the cycle of oppression.

-Rigorous work hours (6:45am-7pm) -For the work that you're actually doing, the pay does not seem worth it at all -A very competitive work environment (people would often come into your classroom and call you out on not having 100% of the classroom's attention at every moment. If one student was not sitting properly or looking at you, they'd call you out, and would do that in front of your entire class) -Had a panic attack while at work which I've never had before.. the stress is just insane and overwhelming -Your breaks during the school day are filled with other things like meetings or reading tests that you do for the students. -Barely get a chance to eat -The environment is horrible for kids. Basically if you are not a student who can pay attention 100% of the time, you will not succeed at this school and they will push you out. I have witnessed it. A student in my class who clearly had an attention disorder and hard family life, was pushed out of the school and I witnessed the mother in tears and disbelief that this was happening to her son. It's devastating. Success Academy only allows the "good" students to remain.
