Pros

Colleagues work well together and are there for the ultimate goal of educational success for students.

Cons

Salary (in any teaching position) cannot sustain a livable life, Cost of Living, Staff usually has more than one job to survive, Inflation, Too Many Hats to be worn that are not in our contracts, parent overreach (more rights) over staff, 10 month paycheck spread over 12 months, no PTO, and an overabundance of Professional Development Days, staff needs a break just as much as the students
