      Horrible

      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.

      Not the best district

      Pros

      HISD gives you real time experience for urban schools. Great place for teachers from TFA, with no prior classroom experience or training.

      Cons

      Very data driven, pushes students with tests each month, which actually takes away from instructional time. Extremely militant appraisal system. Unprofessional staff on campuses. Anyone can really teach here...which isn't a compliment.
