Pros

I am valued as an educator and treated as a professional. I love my principal and my co-workers. They encourage work life balance and listen to feedback.

Cons

I wish we were paid more but that is education as a whole. I do think FLVS flex pays competitively and I have got a raise every year.

Flexible schedule allows for comfortable work-life balance

Pros

Flexibility! Ultimate flexible schedule. Day to day I use calendar to schedule appointments and can block out lunchtime, time for a gym class or to pickup or drop off at car line at school. Ability to work from home office in comfort! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can set up your space to be most comfortable for you. Coffee breaks and yoga pants all day 🙌🏻Summers are slower in flex so allows more time to do personal summer activities like sit at the pool. Access to email on phone (with a communication stipend) so I can “work” from anywhere. I check email and Teams from grocery store, etc. More time to get to know students during welcome calls and DBAs but I often feel so rushed to complete so many appointments each day that I sometimes don’t feel like I can give each family the time they deserve.

Cons

Can be long hours in front of a computer. Some days I’m stuck in front of my computer for 6-8 full hours with back to back Zoom appointments. It can be REALLY tiring. Heavy workloads pouring peak enrollment times: May/ August and December. Your evaluations are based on your data so parents that do not follow learning expectations and don’t submit coursework affects your negatively. It feels very unfair and frustrating. Monthly classroom walk throughs with your principal feel like a formality and waste of time for high performing instructors. For the workload, I do think salary should be higher. Student loads can be really high in August and December with over 180-200 enrollments at once to balance. It’s a lot. Work-life balance is grossly unbalanced during these times.
