Pros

Getting to work with diverse children Good for someone straight out of college or a substitute teacher looking for full time stability.

Cons

No work life balance You are told you are in training to become a teacher, but all you really are is a full-time sub There will be days you are mandated to work for 12 hours, but only paid for 9 hours. Very little support from leadership Everyone is fairly young so it will feel like you are in a high school when it comes to adult culture. Not much support or understanding of your role. Little support from leadership, you are constantly treated like a child. A lot of the practices that are used are to control the kids, which made me uncomfortable for black and brown children
