Holidays off, Good benefits, being able to work doing something you love.

Too much state testing, legislators who have never stepped foot in a classroom are running the show, North Carolina is one of the lowest paying states in the country, no union to stand up for teachers.

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.
