Pros

excellent enviroment. everybody at the schools will treat you right and will give you your place as an educator and will provide the tools to conduct your class properly. the kids are well behaved at the most schools and the main teachers always left lesson planss for you to follow. you have 45 min lunch and 1 hour of "prep" but since you dont need to prepare anything you can spend the time doing anything else, so you only need to be in front of the group 5.25 hrs. also if you want to keep growing and become a teacher you will find orientation to accomplish that goal, the cps community is very supportive.

Cons

day by day teachers don't have any benefits. if you are new you will find the hard way whichs school's are good and the groups on those schools that are the best to work with
