Pros

While they did have access to a lot of materials, they never seem to have access to the right materials. I was able to develop programs and get resources my students needed.

Cons

Terrible administration with no experience, terrible budgeting, terrible managing other teachers, refused many times to get supplies. Students needed refused work, brakes or lunch breaks, never offered support known for not having a lot of returning teachers because of the culture and climate, focused heavily on teachers being compliant to them not to the students, was worried more about having power over teachers by inflicting. Long days. Lots of deliverables and a lot of busy work that benefit of upper management or management way more than it ever benefited students or teachers. Seem to support more management than they ever did Parents or teachers or students
