Pros

Working for East Baton Rouge School Parish is a great challenge especially meeting the challenges of the elementary level school. This is important since there are relatively no males in the school system and my main objective would be to improve this problem siginificantly.

Cons

The downsize is working with a school board that seem clueless to how to conduct themselves and the business of the school system.
