Pros
The pay is decent and you will feel like a a superstar hero sometimes. The kids can be really fun and entertaining.
Cons
The average DCPS student has so many forces working against him that teaching anything other than basic reading or basic math seems like a waste. Why teach a 16 year old mitosis if she reads at a 3rd grade level? Why reach out to a parent with concerns about their child when they are going to turn those concerns back on you. If you have the skills and background to do anything else, do that instead.
