Success Academy NY good option for recent grad?

[Anonymous]

The Reddit threads are very negative. Looking for any positive experiences of recent college grads who went into teaching there. What colleges did the teachers attend? I know the founder has an Ivy degree. Is this a good option for a Top 20 SLAC grad with a science degree?

I have a friend who worked there for a year as a program director (yeah 25 year old director) Judging by the tenure I guess it’s not perfect but she moved on to work at the New School.

Ie would someone who attended Middlebury or Bates or Hamilton end up there? Or less selective colleges?

Every person I know who's worked at a charter school post-grad has said it's a really tough, not great job. The people who stay in education use it as a a stepping stone to get into better public districts/schools.

That being said, if your kid is offered a job, they can always take it and continue looking for a job in their field. From my understanding, some people quit at these schools mid-year.

Is being a science teacher at a charter school a good stepping stone for medical school after a couple of years?

I doubt it. It would take a couple of years to get enough on the job training to become a quality effective teacher. That would seem time better spent for someone that actually wants to have a teaching career rather than a medical career.

That’s how things are with entry level jobs anywhere, not just education.

Also fresh grad may enjoy living in NYC for a bit.

I want to be an investment banker, should I work in Ancient Greek art restoration for a couple of years?
