      Pros

      Holidays off, making a difference with students/the community

      Cons

      Decreased the benefits package and made health care more expensive, extremely political environment, constant reorganization, principals are "gods" and both campus employees and central office must bow to them.

      HISD Teacher

      Pros

      The district has a lot of resources and extra programs available to help students. Pay is competitive with other districts as far as I understand. My own children have many opportunities to enter magnet programs and we can choose from many different kinds of programs. I feel their dual language program has prepared them well.

      Cons

      Discipline problems are increasing. Our principal is afraid to disciplline students for fear of parent reaction, so discipline problems continue to grow. It's become difficult to teach; we have students screaming and throwing fits (and furniture) every day, but nothing is done to address it.. The district listens to parents before employees, so if I have a serious issue, I have to convince a parent to say something.

      Pros

      Time off and benefits were nice.

      Cons

      My experience was awful, but I think it mainly had to do with the school I worked at. The principal was very aggressive and rude. The training's were a waste of time. This job is way to stressful.
