Pros

Great kids. Great cultural diversity.

Cons

Lunch program didn't take into account vegetarians....even though half of my students were. Cheese and crackers was the vegetarian option day after day...gross. Low pay. Sub $40k with a masters degree and salary frozen at that rate for 3 years. NC Teacher Evaluation Tool- don't feel admins were given enough training on. It was very subjective as opposed to objective and scores would vary admin to admin, school to school even with same

Pros

Lengthy time off and decent benefits.

Cons

Very little support. Very challenging students and colleagues. The pay is awful and the state of NC has a very bad situation with its government. Students get away with a lot with no recourse and teachers have too many students in pretty poor working conditions. If I hadn't started teaching decades ago, I wouldn't be doing it. I definitely would not recommend young people to go into this profession in its current iteration.
