Pros

It use to be a great place to work if you truly love to teach children ... But now you are forced to focus on teaching to a state test that is overrated and overused.

Cons

Abusive principals, unfair growth plans, abusive of planning periods, threaten you to work on Saturdays, will red flag your teacher certification if you decide to leave the district during your, principal will not remove disruptive students from your classroom and tell you that you are at fault, low moral, massive amounts of paper work, excessive abuse of power by principals.
