Pros

The students here made this one of the most fulfilling jobs I've ever had.

Cons

Sexual harassment that resulted in me losing my job- and I was the one harassed. Also, gender discrimination taken to an impressive level. Hard work & a passion for teaching won't get you as far as being male will. In many cases, this was detrimental to the students.
