Just a weird discomforting interview

Pros

not sure. didn't seem like a whole lot.

Cons

When I went in to interview for a teaching position there, I was asked a ton of inappropriate questions about my political beliefs. It seemed like the interviewer was running me through a litmus test to see if my politics aligned with his and the school's. While they are a private school, it still didn't seem right that these were the questions being asked. I am old enough to know to not bring my own political attitudes to work, especially into a classroom of middle schoolers. Not one single question was asked about my classroom management skills, my teaching philosophies, or anything appropriate to the position I was applying for. It left a bad taste in my mouth and immediately made me not want to work there. Also, the interviewer was late and I had to wait a half an hour.

Pros

The curriculum is all setup for you, so lesson planning is fairly straightforward, as are materials and supplies available. Teaching children is always rewarding

Cons

Very unorganized management, lack of empathy and unappreciated, very difficult to get time off, very structured, tests are priority, little room for creativity and games

Pros

I loved being with the kids.

Cons

The scope of career growth and pay raise was quite low. I couldn't see myself working here after years at the pay they offered. So, I found another well-paying job.
