      Pros

      There is such a strong adult culture among the staff which is hard to come by in schools- everyone truly supports each other. Every adult in the building truly loves children and teaching. I learned really great behavior management skills from staff there. The kids are amazing. The pay and benefits are great.

      Cons

      I feel there should be more balance between behavior and academics- sometimes I didn't feel like I was truly teaching my content. Though I understand the need for silent hallways since the building is shared with a middle school, I did not like enforcing silent lunches (this policy might have changed since I've been there).
