Pros

You get teaching experience for school aged children from 4-18 years of age. Occasionally you get a client that is older. Its great for students who want some ECE experience with a set curricula to work from easing the difficulty of creating your own. Its a good short term-job for prospective teachers.

Cons

Its hard to be a creative teacher. They have their own curricula and style that wont be good for neurodiverse students or teachers. As a manager and teacher there is a lot of paperwork and parent interviews. The parents, much like in the normal school system think they know what is best so that's a small minefield.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
