Pros

The benefits are some of the best out there! You can choose which insurance policies fit your needs- I get good medical ins. for less than $50.00 per month, and vision and dental plans can be added for less than $10 or $15 per month.

Cons

The biggest con is that you are not paid what you are worth and the expectations of parents and the red tape of the school system are terrible. The parents run the schools and your first priority is to satisfy them, not teach the child.
