Wait, do they really cover 12 middle schools?

 

Maybe just 11. It did say "nearly."

 

Absolutely beautiful up there.

 

It is beautiful up there. Especially in the summer. But this job/company has some serious red flags. Anyone looking for more info can PM me.

 

If covering nearly a dozen middle schools isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.

 

That's pretty frightening.
