Pros

As with any job in education, there are a lot of demands, especially if you are a generalist. However, the curriculum and scope and sequence are all laid out for you on the district website and does not vary from school to school. There are lots of technology resources including class iPad sets, technology carts available for checkout from the library,

Cons

There is no down time. Period. You are working on breaks through the day and you are working at home. There is no room for creativity as the expectation is you are to do the same thing everyone else does. If you have a family, I suggest you seek outside health insurance.

Pros

The school o worked at had some teachers who cared very deeply.

Cons

Most teachers were just there to check boxes. Learning felt like a secondary goal compared to passing tests.
