Pros

Like all teaching jobs teachers are usually good team players and care about the students while trying to do their jobs as best as they can.

Cons

The new superintendent F. Mike Miles has created a culture which pits principals and administrators against teachers, the evaluation system has a built in curve which will ask principals to pick and choose favorites and who they will let go at the end of the year. If they deviate from the curve the principals will be fired. 2023-24 if not already will most likely have the highest number of firings, resignations and non-renewals yet. Do not be lured by the money proposed this year, it is a terrible inefficient system to teach, but if you try to change things you can be fired over using your degree in education and common sense. Extremely toxic thanks to this new superintendent.
