Pros

The diversity of the student and their want to learn and grow is refreshing. The ability to really teach what you want and being able to move forward with new fresh ideas.

Cons

The infrastructure behind the RSD is broken. The HR is a joke, the professional trainings are also lackluster. The benefit plans are very expensive and the Benefit Coordinators never think it is their job to help you. If I could just teach and never deal with the district my life would be so much easier.

- Flexible Hours - (VERY RARE) welcoming envoirment at some schools. - Bonuses for amount of assignments completed - Flexible scheduling

Cons

- Paid only monthly not sustainable - Students physically injure you and is a safety risk - No Opportunity to Grow - Emotionally and Mentally Taxing - Administration is Passive Aggressive, will not give you a chance to speak, explain yourself or try to make a resolution with you if issues arise, they make heinous accusations against you especially if you struggle with disabilities. - Corrupt Practices against Substitutes, treated like a minority, and punished if something isnt correct to the tea. "Permanent" Employees are treated better in most cases.
