Very Stressful but meaningful work
Pros
- helping families and children in need - they help pay for school -Truly impacting work - Helping awesome kids who deserve the best!
Cons
- no summer break or week off for winter break. Only a few days - not enough sick days - teachers burn out very quickly because the work is tedious and exhausting because there is not enough support - there is training but not enough for kind of work we will be doing - school says it has therapy programs but they do not have enough therapists. Teachers are expected to fill in holes and are sometimes to blame. - many behavioral issues related to home life for students. They come to school because they have therapy and support but they do not have enough for all students - very stressful - unorganized - volunteers are helpful but they come in and out of the classroom daily and disrupt class and make behaviors with students difficult - hard to establish routine with ongoing changes in classroom - parents come and leave as they wish and disrupt learning
