Pros

A learning experience, great teachers to learn from.

Cons

Administration everywhere is horrendous. Horrible leadership. More than 50% of the administrators are awful in this district. They do not lead by example, they do not support you, and lack compassion for teachers. Everyone is always stressed out.
