Pros

Lot's of training and practice which is helpful for new teachers

Cons

Outside of the classroom, Teachers must partake in a unhealthy amount of "Professional Development". In my case, 30 min every day before school starts, every Friday for 4 hours and more. Teachers are over worked and not listened to. Quite cultish.
