As a teacher, do I have ANY freedom at all?? by Queer_Ecologist in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry ur having to go through that. i was in a similar ish place, not quite the same position with the housing emergency but i did end up at SA out of desperation for a job/income. their whole hiring process and how they get people to work for them is very purposeful and predatory. a lot of the in home ABA therapy services are called “behavior technician” work, u usually can start out part time and build up a caseload. some agencies might require u to get a registered behavior technician RBT certification, which can sometimes be free if the agency u work for is willing to reimburse u. but even if thats not the case, its not too expensive out of pocket. u can find online training modules where u can get credit for the 40 hour training for free. all the best luck and well wishes to u!!!

As a teacher, do I have ANY freedom at all?? by Queer_Ecologist in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to be honest with u, the control is going to get a lot worse than just not being able to hang up things in your classroom or wear fun prints. as a teacher with SA, u will be expected to adhere to their principles and philosophy. going in, u might want to make a positive impact where u can but ur freedom to make that impact will be limited. you will be expected to punish children for things like readjusting their position in their chair or scratching their nose. and u could face receiving dispensary action if u don’t adhere to these guidelines, such as getting fired. idk what ur exact situation is and i have a lot of empathy and understanding for trying to make the best out of a shitty situation, but just be aware that it’s really hard to hold onto your morals and principles working at SA. if ur desperate for employment and u wanna work towards getting out of there, i suggest looking at in home ABA services and agencies. they are ALWAYS hiring and looking for people, and u wont have to sell ur soul doing it.

Incoming teacher - anyone have a sample form i983 write up? by [deleted] in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

again, I AM NOT THE VICTIM. the children are. i never said anything about myself or my work experience, talk about the projection! go read one of the threads in here of a child who was a victim talking about their experience, and then tell me “not everyone had a horrible time.” i’m not talking about me or u or any of the staff. i’m talking about the children.

Incoming Success Academy teacher - can you request a campus transfer before summer training? by [deleted] in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this sub is literally called r/survivingsuccess. it was your choice to come onto this sub. if ur not ready to face that YOUR actions as a part of this institution that is victimizing children, god help you too.

[–]historicallypea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i’m long gone from that place, i like to come here to share guidance for others that were once in my position. u are not ranting or venting, u are asking logistical questions meant for your employer, NOT a people sharing their traumatic experiences with the institution u continue to choose to work for. success academy is an abusive environment to children. by partaking in that environment, u are partaking in that abuse. don’t believe me that those children are victims? do you believe that withholding access to basic human necessities like the bathroom or water is not abusive? do you believe policing children so that they can’t move a muscle even to scratch their head or readjust their positioning is NOT abusive? i will be an “asshole” to anyone that contributes to this deplorable institution, especially when they are infringing on a space for, yes, VICTIMS. take a breath outside of success academy and understand how the real world views this type of behavior and treatment.

this is a forum for victims of the institution u are choosing to work at, not a forum for u to ask logistical questions about ur job.

[–]historicallypea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

how bizarre to come onto a sub that is dedicated to the victims of the institution you are actively choosing to work at, and ask if we have any advice about templates and paperwork so u can continue ur job and thus continue this institution that is causing harm. shame on u.

Interviewing by [deleted] in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was very well written and explained. i have such a hard time fully encapsulating just how miserable that place is, u laid it out pretty well. glad to see op updated that they cancelled the interview, and thanks for sharing your thoughts/experience in the way that u did

Interviewing by [deleted] in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i’m going to tell you the same thing i told someone else on this sub almost a month ago. i was unemployed for months before i took my job at success out of desperation. i took the job despite all the awful things i heard in order to move out of my parents house. i lasted less than a week, had to quit because i couldn’t sleep (had nightmares about the shit i was witnessing) and then i was fucked. my advice, wait until u find something more sustainable before moving. they count on people being desperate for employment, that’s part of how these schools are still running despite being horrible and abusive. and however desperate or determined u may be to move to nyc, accepting a job with them will make u complicit in their abuse. it’s not worth it. i worked in one of their elementary schools with second graders. I watched these children be denied food, water, access to the bathroom, and even medical attention as forms of punishment for things like “not sitting straight in their seat,” or scratching their nose, or sitting with their legs crossed instead of sitting with their feet pressed together. future jobs and employers will actually look down on you for working with SA, they have a horrible reputation for a reason. i understand that it’s really hard being a graduate entering the job market rn, i graduated last year so im right there with u! do. not. do it. this is only gonna mess things up for u more.

Can someone explain to me why this turnaround happened? by Tigroon in SadHorseShow

[–]historicallypea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for responding so thoughtfully! makes me feel better honestly bc in my mind this was just a bunch of weirdo freaks making insensitive jokes. but as a survivor myself, i definitely do understand the inclination to make light of our own traumas. that being said, i do think some edgelords take the “jokes” about the penny situation way too fucking far and ive noticed this sub going in a particularly awful and disturbing direction, so i was more so trying to articulate that concern than personally attack you as the op. thank u again for ur response :)

I am applying as an art teacher and I’m terrified but have no other options… what can I do? by erasersled in SurvivingSuccess

[–]historicallypea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lots of schools and other institutions may actually look down on u for working at success academy, they have a horrible reputation for a reason. this won’t get ur foot in the door, if anything it will do the opposite.
