Pros

Students are eager to learn, summers off, holidays, personal and sick days. Resources are available to bolster student learning and growth.

Cons

Budget cuts, principals only care about STAAR, Telpas and other standardized testing scores. Not many competent people in leadership positions. Poor performing school and other factors make it hard to recruit good candidates.

Pros

The grade level team was overall competent, encouraging, and collaborated well together. Also, the community support at my particular school was great and the majority of parents/staff were heavily involved and engaged.

Cons

My particular administrator provided little to no support throughout the entire year. There were numerous times I would be docked on appraisals but not given any guidance or support on how to improve.
