Pros

Great PD opportunities, awesome opportunities to collab with team, fun parties, endless availability of materials

Cons

Some schools have horrid management systems for how behavior is approached past the classroom level. Your promotion in many schools is solely based on "who you know" and "if they like you". Be prepared to be disrespected by children and pray your admin can offer support

Pros

KIPP DC offers great benefits for teachers and excellent pay. They provide a lot of technology for the students which gives them a chance to be ahead of the curve. The school is well-kept and taken care of.

Cons

Depending on your campus you may run into some issues with upper management. Certain schools have issues with celebrating cultural holidays i.e. black history month. Upper management can also sometimes be intimidated by teachers who question the curriculum or things that are immoral happening at the school. Be prepared to bite your tongue if you're opinionated about the world around you and actually care about the lives of your students. Passiveness is probably one of the only ways to keep your job (at certain campuses).
