Such potential lost

Business Outlook

Pros

Administrators have low expectations of students. Keep the grades high and work low and life is easy.

Cons

Very low rigor for students. Very little Administrator support. If you want to raise rigor and actually teach students in line with 21st Century, expect a lot of push back from administration and peers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good benefits Great children, supportive families

Cons

Staff are territorial, and try to push out newcomers who do not comply to their ways Senior staff members are allowed to disobey the rules, be late, lazy, not help students 100%, but are the ones who are favored and represented against newer staff members For the schools I've worked at, pay is not enough for what I was expected to do and sacrifice- working weekends and from 7-7 sometimes. Hard work is not as praised as seniority and favoritism is. Would have up to 7 other adults in the classroom critiquing my teaching abilities and my classroom appearance, other times special education teachers would be in the room on their phones or talking to another teacher instead of assisting students. Not enough support
