Pros

I like working with the students. The time off is nice. I like my co-workers including my principal.

Cons

I don't like how teachers were being forced to resign or retire. I don't like that principal I had in 2010-2011 wrote up almost the entire staff for the most frivolous of reasons.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
