Outdated and awful - Teacher Challenger School Employee Review

- Huge teacher turnover rates. This is why they are constantly posting on job sites looking for new employees. They lose dozens of teachers every year and make no effort to retain them. - Big class sizes. 30 students crammed into a small room, just like a typical overrun public school. - Corporate does not care if you have valid concerns or feedback about anything. They will tell you to just leave if you’re “unhappy.” - Outdated curriculum and resources. No technology allowed, not even simple overhead projectors. - Curriculum focuses entirely on white men in history and white characters in literature, which is appalling considering over 90% of the student population in California Challenger campuses is non-white. Even for MLK Day, the curriculum includes nothing about him. Representation of diversity is desperately needed. - Policies, events, etc vary completely by campus. There is no uniformity and everything depends on who is running your campus at the time. - No fun allowed. You can’t decorate your classroom. You can’t hold spirit days, cultural days, or any other classroom events. There are no field trips. Anything that would actually be fun for the kids is not tolerated.
