True. And I am simply disapointed that the OP has chosen to hide.

OP = disgruntled worker. Plain and simple.

I wasn't aware that my earlier comment came off as having any kind of comment other than one of disappointment in the OP not identifying herself.

Not quite true, but the owners are related.

Teachers here are paid more than the average teacher and are given benefits that teachers don't receive in many other companies.

A ridiculous lie. I can't imagine how you would manage to do such a thing!

I don't know of any teacher who has stayed here for less than a few months. I challenge the OP to name one.

Okay, the OP has really lost it and has no clue what she is talking about.

The opinion of the American Pediatric Association is just that - an opinion.

We accept plenty of suggestions from our employees. But it doesn't mean we change everything. Don't be absurd.

Nonesense. We go out of our way to assist our employees in many ways.

I invite the OP to come out with her real name.
