Pros

The students in HISD are awesome, they are smart and have a lot of pride. They can be rough around the edges but a loving teacher can get great results.

Cons

Although the children are great, the adults make working in Houston ISD very difficult. Initiatives change every month as new methods are implemented. The needs of students are never considered in decision making or planning.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
