Pros

Get to teach what you're excited about Can use this as an opportunity for self-growth

Cons

Takes a LOT of energy & loud voice to manage large groups, especially if you do not have a supporting colleague, or if they are not proactive. Some kids in this program are not good listeners/ don't want to be there. Takes energy to prepare special lessons & materials. For better or worse, you only get to teach your own curriculum 2 days a week, max Practicing the play/musical, which happened 2x/year, was an ordeal--stressful managing kids and getting them to follow instructions/ stay quiet

Pros

Other teachers are great. Thats literally the only positive thing to say.

Cons

Terrible lead teachers. They hire people with absolutely no skill or knowledge in the subjects they are supposed to teach. Don’t pay nearly enough and have very limited hours available. Expect you to drive to schools far away and will not pay for gas/mileage. Expect you to have full availability whenever they want you and get upset when you are not available at their beck and call.
