Soldier in the War...Just a Casualty!!

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The love of teaching is why anyone is in the profession. Not for fame or fortune. Seeing the "light go off" is the joy and reward of the investment made. Knowing that you have made a difference in a child's life is why we get up and go to work everyday! Hoping we can save our society's future by saving as many as we can.

Cons

Teachers are no longer respected as we once were. We now have to document everything we do for fear of parental reprecussions. I have known teachers to join unions simply to have malpractice insurance. A teacher was sued and lost their case because a student did not pass a standardized test! Ludicrous! Ask McDonald's Corporation....they know all TOO well about frivilous lawsuits!! Shame on our judicial system!

Business Outlook

Pros

Best professional development and technology an educator could ask for. Good pay and benefits

Cons

The middle people between top management and teachers made reaching goals, mission, and vision very difficult. Decisions were made based on emotion and connection; not who does the job best.

East Baton Rouge School District

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Students and some of the parents are really great to work with. The teachers are really great and they will help you out with anything. There is quite a commroderie between the departments and it is just are really great place to work .

Cons

The pay is not very great. You are not allowed to be as creative in this district as you might be in others. At times it appears that the dress code is more important than the actual education of the student.
