S1E04: Are Charter Schools the Most Toxic Workplace in America?
Explicit content warning
02/07/23 • 67 min
Are charter schools the most toxic workplaces EVER? When we first approached Megan to tell her story, we were blown away with the level of toxicity within the teaching profession. It honestly blew our minds and I am positive it will blow yours too!
Charter schools in the United States are primary or secondary education institutions that are public schools which are publicly funded and operate independently, rather than being controlled by local school districts. Charter schools have a contract with local school districts or other authorizing bodies which allow them to operate.
In a new york times article they spoke about how charter schools didn't have experianced teachers and that was highlighted by Megan in the first minutes about the in-experienced teachers she dealt with! https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/08/us/study-finds-charter-schools-lack-experienced-teachers.html there were tons of other articles when you google "toxicity in charter schools" like that there are pitfalls in systematic leadership, the administration is a shambles and much more!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/05/20/a-dozen-problems-with-charter-schools/ - This Washington post article rightly so - highlighted some massive issues in charter schools! https://www.shondaland.com/act/a19449580/charter-schools/
