      Change the world or die trying - Teacher, Secondary School Houston ISD Employee Review

      Pros

      You have a real chance to change the world or change the life of some kids that are in real need

      Cons

      Violence and lots of it. Administration that seems rotten from the top down. Student fight involving a knife has both students back in the classroom quickly after a brief in school "suspension" i.e. they nap for a week in a quiet room. Obsession with numbers and data, not so much with students actually learning.

      Pros

      -Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

      Cons

      -Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
