Pros

Job availability in Houston ISD is large compared to surrounding districts. Also, if you're a good teacher, you can really make a difference in the lives of your kids.

Cons

Many of the schools in HISD have high poverty rates. Also, if you're teaching in a secondary school, it is questionable if the feeder elementary schools have taught basic discipline before they come to you.

Pros

If you are an excellent teacher who doesn't mind hard work HISD is the place for you. It has a bad reputation and some schools are bad but many are fantastic. The financial awards can be wonderful.

Cons

There are a lot of administrators to please. Whenever a new superintendent comes on board things change even if they have previously worked.
