Pros

All of the teachers work really hard to support the students and each other.

Cons

The students are rough. We play both roles as parent and teacher. EVERYTHING is based off of test scores. VERY data-driven district. There are times when teachers get reprimanded because of assessment scores. Not a supportive administration and it seems you only stay in the district if you know someone or are related to someone. (Many are related to someone important.)

Pros

The school o worked at had some teachers who cared very deeply.

Cons

Most teachers were just there to check boxes. Learning felt like a secondary goal compared to passing tests.
