Pros

The only pro was that there were some great students (who happened to have great parents) and some great employees. All the employees have now left HISD.

Cons

Teachers are treating like light bulbs. Burn them out and screw in a new one. Insurance is pretty much non-existent as you have a near $3000.00 deductible. This is a good example of how not to run a school district. The professors at The University of Houston are telling their students NOT to go to work at HISD.

Pros

Good benefits with good pay.

Cons

Yes, you are paid higher in NES. However, you are overworked, you WILL WORK for that pay. I am not just an AP in charge of being an instructional leader, I am also Testing Coordinator, GT Coordinator, LPAC Coordinator, Discipline Coordinator, in charge of ALL ASPECTS of each of those individual positions as well as my responsibilities as an AP. So yes, you get six figures, but you are working 6 people job.
