Great for aspiring Teachers - Youth Worker DREAM Employee Review

Enthusiastic staff, gifted kids, leadership open to improvements/always changing, lots of support, lax schedule

Punishment/disciplinary methods are supposed to be consistent by book but in practice every educator has their own -and very different- method. Kind of confusing for both kids and staff. Don't know if this is related but there's definitely a kid favoritism/teacher's pet energy going on. One actual con is that the behavioral and competence range is HUGE and it's kind of dismissed. Some kids are extremely gifted and hardworking, others cause problems everyday and are evidently behind. Doesn't only cause tensions between the kids but is also hard to manage - makes the whole "we are family" method feel like we're disregarding the "advanced" kids. Need more than just having more educators/coaches in the room to help out with these kids. These are problems in any school but ones I feel like the school should have addressed with all it's resources

Can meet decent ppl here
