[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting.  It seems like just about the only people who post on Glassdoor (and similar types of sites and forums) are the ones who are disgruntled -- which, I would assume, are a minority.  Those who are satisfied rarely think to take the time to post that they're happy and why.  And usually it's people who don't work at a place anymore who post . . . which would give me pause about how many grains of salt I'd take the report with.  I'm sure there's some truth in those posts, don't get me wrong.  But I also think that it's not an accurate picture of a place if just a few unhappy people take to the anonymous internet . . .[/quote]

Here we go again with they must be disgruntled...Uh, of course, they are! They make that clear. But their unhappiness seems perfectly justified. Hell, I'm disgruntled just reading about the BS and I've never even seen the school before.

And the reviews are simple human nature. I'm given opportunities to fill out surveys for nearly every experience I have in life. I almost never complete surveys unless my experience was extremely good or extremely bad.

There are only a handful of teachers at that school, so the complaints are likely in the majority. Furthermore, they're so similar and consistent with what I've heard from people I know who work in DC charters. I certainly wouldn't want to work there based on those reviews.[/quote]

By your logic, why are there so many disgruntled employees? Even if that was the case, then they do a terrible job of hiring the right teachers. Of course, you have to read all reports with a gran of salt, but this particular site also has many positive posts about some organizations. Even DCPS's comments aren't this bad, in fact they are quite positive. I tend to think that this is quite an accurate assessment of Achievement Prep and how they attempt to get results. As others have said, these type of charters would never fly WOTP, parents would not tolerate their militaristic style. [/quote]

Sorry PP, meant to respond to the other PP who did not believe the posts...[/quote]
