Pros
Regular pay, plenty of time off available, and several paid holidays each year. Opportunities to network and attend professional development. Expectation to use computers to check email everyday and post grades/grade-book online, so good technology access, including WiFi.
Cons
Poor organizational communication from Administration to Principals to School Community. Poor support of teachers with struggling students (from struggling families and broken homes). Less than adequate nor compassionate use of psychology services for students needing counseling due to the effects of drug use by parents, both current use and prenatal. Poor use of Librarians, restricting access of students to a life-changing mentor. Little respect for custodial staff. Too many non-instructional staff not involved directly with students; all staff should be involved in education or mentoring students.
