Pros

Time off, the kids you of course!

Cons

The pay does not compensate for the amount of work. The people you work with are nice but the realization that these are the people we entrust education to is sad. The countless masters and PhDs are nothing but titles are more than half the people are not very bright. The nepotism is UNBELIEVABLE and depending on the campus it can all get very racial or it's about the cliques. I've never worked at a place like this and I was glad to leave. If I could describe HISD in one sentence, it's a bunch of people who peaked in high school and are still trying to hold on to their social hiarchy.

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.
