Pros

Having the holidays and summer-time off is nice; The pay for a first year teacher is one of the highest in the state; If you're lucky, you may be in a school where the other teachers and administration care about the students' well being, and not just their CRCT scores

Cons

Parental support of student academic achievement is typically low; Students typically don't have the resources at home that they need in order to complete their homework or do research (many don't have internet access); Verbal affirmation of a job well-done is not often given by co-workers or administration (I've worked at 3 different schools in the county); Many teachers who have been working there for 10 years or more typically do not want to incorporate new methods and shun change in planning and communication

Pros

The other teachers are amazing. Intelligent, dedicated, hardworking. The money isn't too bad. Teachers got a one time bonus last year.

Cons

The administration at my school was terrible. They lost 30+ teachers at the end of the year. Discipline was never handled by certain administrators. Morale was incredibly low. Granted, some Fulton County schools are good places to be, but make sure you talk to teachers who work in them before you sign a contract to make sure you avoid the bad apples!
