Pros

- Great hours and nice to have summers off - Some students are really great - Some teachers are awesome

Cons

-The pay is crap!!! Not enough to survive off, I had to get a 2nd and 3rd job to support myself. They don't hire substitutes and expect teachers to cover for free. They don't pay you during the summer months They expect you to use personal leave on snow days WHEN THEY CLOSE THE SCHOOL They don't discipline children so they are disrespectful and do what they want.

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.
