Pros

Good pay for NC public school system There are some great schools and building administrators to work for

Cons

Pay compared to other states Recent uncertainty at central office and school board level Initiatives come and go with very little follow through or appropriate training (but that is part of education, too)

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.
