Pros

The assistant principal helped nurture and develop my talent and management skills. My colleagues were a supportive community.

Cons

There was a lot of paperwork to maintain Individual records and lesson plans separate from the class as a whole. It was time consuming and took time away from other teaching. Some of it was necessary for appropriate documentation.

Pros

Great Training. Good starting job.

Cons

If you work in a school with apartments : high turnover and you may receive a bad review the second year. If you over 50 bad reviews begin. Over half are under 5 yrs experience for a reason. You will need a teacher's organization for a good lawyer.
