Pros

I really loved working with the children. There were also a lot of other teachers who were wonderful to work with.

Cons

WCPSS treats all of their teachers like crap. They are unpaid and overworked and concerns are blown off.It is ridiculous the amount of work they require from you for such very little pay. I made below the poverty level for my state as a Teacher's Assistant.

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.
