      Stress/Pay not worth it

      Business outlook

      Pros

      At my school, my coworkers were amazing. They are all just as stressed yet willing to help you when needed. Some children are sweet, excited to learn and love school.

      Cons

      Administration is blind to teachers struggles, never hold students accountable and make poor decisions that make teaching nearly impossible. Pay is terrible. Expectations are completely unrealistic. You can never get any work done during work hours, forcing you to work on your own time. HCS will never pay you for extra hours, required events or required certifications. You are on your own. Student behavior gets worse every year, and parents do not care. Last straw-teachers will be required to stay after school every Monday, every week next year for an extra 2 hours (unpaid of course) no explanation given... No life work balance at all.

      Don’t Do It - Find Something Else

      Teacher

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Generally you will work with some awesome people. Teachers are usually a caring bunch, and depending on your grade level/team you will probably have takeaway grade level support and good coworkers. Management is a toss up. Example - great instructional coaches one year (principal ran off one of the two) but principal was terrible.

      Cons

      I’m writing what I wish someone has told me. Your classroom size will vary all year long. Horry County is transient, so one month you may have 19 kids and the next 30+. Technology will sometimes work, student behavior will be all over the place and you will have no admin support. Principals are a toss up - mine played favorites, was dismissive and judgmental and started each school meeting with prayer. She also didn’t like me (I was told this by other teachers) but she was always nice to my face. But she also once threatened a student and asked if they wanted her to go get a switch off the tree outside the window….As a new teacher, you will be required to attend monthly meetings (2-3 hrs) for “new teacher training” with homework assignments (we built a personal website for blogging) that is Ann unpaid. Your daily planning hour will be routinely taken for “training” so all planning work is completed after school. Oh, and you eat lunch with your students because you will be monitoring them during lunch and recess.
