      Pros

      My co workers were fantastic.

      Cons

      I was bullied and lied to. The prinicpal was awful. I can not believe she has had her job for as long as she has. She has had mass exits for at least the last 3 to 4 years. That ought to tell you something.

      Pros

      good salary scale Cheaper insurance comparatively speaking Always hiring New teachers and staff to support you in campus, a sense of a shared struggle bonds you with one another.

      Cons

      High teacher turn over Most schools are struggling with extreme behavior Support to deal with violent and outlandish behavior is unrealistic Spending income on paper to print work and many other supplies .

      Watch out - they want cheap TFA teachers, empower dangerous students, and dump experience.

      Pros

      It's a job - you can learn to deal with high and unrealistic demands for behavioral management. You can learn to live with students ruining their lives by pushing limits until they are so criminal-minded that they are arrested and placed in alternate, criminal minded campuses. It's a great job for a year as a TFA rookie. Otherwise, their business and political model allows them to ruthlessly take over other area school districts (like North Forest), but there is no: consciousness, dignity, heart, or soul at HISD.

      Cons

      Experienced teachers are abused and subjected to unconscionable demands and situations. Many teachers are assaulted and then said to be the problem that set off the student. Administrators pick at lesson plans, but only for teachers that make decent income. The grievance process is a kangaroo court: The principal decides he is right at step 1, even with a preponderance of evidence to the contrary. At the final step, the (hired by HISD) attorney mediator will decide, even with a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, that the teacher is wrong.
