Pros
I just came back from vacation last night and I know this makes me sound weird, but I am so happy to be back. I respect and enjoy my colleagues, and I missed everyone! I like the things we get to work on together, and I am so proud of our mission. It's also great that we get to serve children all year long in schools and camps, and that all of us, whether we work in the schools or in the central office, contribute to our mission and vision every day.
Cons
Many of us in the central office don't get the chance to be in schools as much as we would like. And as we grow, our workload will continue to evolve--it's certainly not getting any easier. For educators, I know it's super hard work to serve children every single day, but it is also a great blessing and incredibly rewarding, so I hope that helps balance things out.
