Pros

I like working with the students. The time off is nice. I like my co-workers including my principal.

Cons

I don't like how teachers were being forced to resign or retire. I don't like that principal I had in 2010-2011 wrote up almost the entire staff for the most frivolous of reasons.

Pros

You get a study paycheck. I had amazing co-workers who where supportive.

Cons

Bad leadership. You will be blamed for issues and problems even if they aren't clear about expectations or mistakes where made by them. Don't expect a fair evaluation system either. I was under 3-4 at any given time. (Part of your evaluation is how much you do for work outside of work hours too.) You will be reminded that you are a salary employee and that Texas is an at will state constantly. You will be awarded leadership programs that if you refuse to to do or are not able to do during your time off will count against your evaluation.
