Pros
Walking down the hallways and receiving hugs in the mornings was the best. Seeing smiles on their faces when they got an answer right and knowing that you as a teacher actually care about them.
Cons
Wow, when you have more teachers quitting each year because we are over worked, not appreciated for the job that we do daily, micromanaged daily, and belittled. When you have the principal treat the teachers as if they arent doing their jobs is horrible. You cant and dont have a life outside of IDEA because you spend more time doing script practice twice a day and meetings every week. Working 50+ hours a week doesnt leave you time to spend with your own family or just have a life of your own. You have principals that dont do their jobs but put everything on the teachers to do. You have principals that dont understand the culture or environment we work in and let alone cant relate to the students. Too much favoritism and over looking great teachers which makes those teachers leave.
