Pros

Opportunity to shape young minds and educate them to be citizens of the world.

Cons

The district doesn't do a great job of communicating from the top-down. Human Resources practices in this district are inconsistent and seem arbitrary. There seems to be a greater degree of politics at work here than in other districts I have worked in.
