Pros

Kids, generally, at my school, were great. Salaries are much higher now, especially if you can do well during unannounced evaluations.

Cons

The system is negative, finger-pointing, under-funded, under-staffed, and without a curriculum. For many years. The children can be extremely difficult.

Pros

Working for DC Public Schools gave me insight into the inner workings of a public office, an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of DC Public School children, to have a direct effect on standards for education; helping to recruit highly qualified professionals to staff our schools.

Cons

Sometimes it felt a bit difficult to maneuver the red tape of DC government agencies.
