Pros

You have a real chance to change the world or change the life of some kids that are in real need

Cons

Violence and lots of it. Administration that seems rotten from the top down. Student fight involving a knife has both students back in the classroom quickly after a brief in school "suspension" i.e. they nap for a week in a quiet room. Obsession with numbers and data, not so much with students actually learning.
