Business Outlook
Pros
-High expectations for employers and students - The feeling that you are working towards closing the achievement gap -The chance to go on to bigger and better things once you're done with your 2-year Teach For America stint or your dabble in urban education
Cons
-Abuse from leadership -you will be working at least 12 hours a day most days, and will be expected to complete analyses/reports over the weekend - holiday weekends, long weekends, vacations... -Belittlement in front of your own kids in your own classroom -You are expendable - you are just another body -Turnover rates for new and returning teachers -No enrichment- high stakes test prep curriculum all day long
