Pros

HISD is a great place to work. You have to love your craft, be a Christian, be forgiving. Hisd has been great to me. Came back to teach her after being gone 18 years. HR is great. You have to know your craft, have a clean license and work hard. Hisd pays very well and the kids will always support you. You have to be yourself.

Cons

Games. Idiots that are rude to you that don't appreciate what education is all about. Many there for the money. But if you are there for the kids, nobody can mess with you. Assuming you are licensed and gave good discipline. If you cannot live these kids for who they are, you'll get eaten up. The kids know if you are fake.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
