Pros

- the students are amazing!! 100% best part of the job and I miss them so much! - great experience if you’re interested in being a teacher - you automatically qualify for ebt, but that’s only cuz the pay is so low - free health insurance

Cons

- the pay - working almost 50 hours a week, sometimes more - partner teachers are a hit or miss - company is desperate and accepts about ever applicant, meaning you’ll probably be working with some undesirable people

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
