Pros

Working with kids, feeling as if my job made a difference.

Cons

Unpaid in summertime, no respect from kids, no support in management, you're completely on your own with lesson plans and don't expect a less than 60 hour work week or lunch hour.

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.
