Pros

The best part is the students, your colleagues and the time off during the summer. Depending on who your administrator is, it can be good.

Cons

There is very little room for growth in salary. One could have 20 years of experience and the rise in salary is very minimal.

Pros

Lots of resources available, great co-workers, outlined curriculum guides, great training opportunities

Cons

administration does not value their talent, experienced and successful teachers are often pushed aside for first year teachers because they get paid less.

Pros

The pros are that you feel you have a job that is contributing the greater good of our society. You are educating the youth. There's also summer vacation and a decent benefits package.

Cons

You can work in this district for 10 years and still barely break $50k. Unless this job is your calling, your true passion in life, it is not worth the money. It can easily consume you and take over your personal life, if you allow it to. The hours, although on paper look fabulous, are difficult. Yes, teachers get 2.5 months in the summer, but they more than make up for it with 60 hour weeks and habitual sacrificed weekends. The district is enormous and can't seem to keep up with its growth.
