Minnesota Reading Corps

Minnesota Reading Corps

Do not work for these selfish, greedy people, lacking in common decency and social skills!

I applied for one of the tutoring jobs with Minnesota Reading Corps. I have a Master s Degree in Elementary Education. On The Graduate Record Examination, I scored in the 98th percentile. I had glowing letters of recommendation. They turned me down!

What is wrong with these people!? I called and talked with three different people. What is your problem? Why did you not hire me? None of them gave me an answer. They were all retarded, and none of them were able to say anything intelligent.

I filed a complaint with The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Instead of just giving a straight answer, The Minnesota Reading Corps people * HIRED A LAWYER! * This scumbag lawyer tried to discredit my application! How much did they pay the lawyer!? They certainly paid him much more money than they would have paid me.

I was in Pi Lambda Theta Honors Society! The following is a description of Pi Lambda Theta from Curry College:

Pi Lambda Theta was founded in 1910. Its mission is to honor outstanding educators and inspire their leadership on critical education issues. The most selective society of its kind, Pi Lambda Theta extends membership to students and professionals who satisfy academic eligibility requirements and have demonstrated characteristics of scholarship, leadership and service.

On top of this, some of my research projects were beyond the scope and knowledge of my professors! For Math Methods class, I did a semester project on how math is taught in Japan, compared to The United States and Germany.

I read the letter that someone from Minnesota Reading Corps wrote in reply to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about my complaint. She let slip that their problem was that I wrote, in my application, that I like to work with bright students! Being intelligent is a * GOOD THING! *

From reading reviews by people who did work for Minnesota Reading Corps, it was quick work to piece together how Minnesota Reading Corps actually works. They hire young students and put them with children who need the most help with reading. They pay the students almost nothing. Their so called stipend is a far cry from enough money to actually live on! Their so called training is minimal, and once the students are tutoring, the receive little to no help from the supervisors.

I worked for two school years at East Side Learning Center. It s a non-profit run by The School Sisters of Notre Dame. I worked at John Johnson Elementary School. Out of the five schools where East Side Learning Center has tutoring centers, this school had the greatest number of children with learning challenges and behavior issues. And even so, some of my students were the best elementary students I have ever seen! Some of them were average, and a few were seriously challenging.

If you need student tutoring experience with reading, outside what your university offers, and you are in or near Saint Paul, it s worth calling East Side Learning Center. You can be a volunteer or work as a paid tutor. They were paying $14.00 an hour at the beginning of 2017.

Or ask around and call around to find a school where you will actually be appreciated, and be paid a reasonable wage.

Please do not even consider working for Minnesota Reading Corps! Your so called job will be stressful. The stipend is not worth your time and effort. And no one will appreciate your hard work.
