Pros

great academic curriculum and teaches the children to think

Cons

limited extracurricular activities and once an opinion is made of a student or faculty, it is practically impossible to change the perspective, a lot of favoritism from administration, support of faculty is not a given

Pros

Great teachers and students are so eager to learn with brilliant, creative minds.

Cons

Management at certain schools is horrible as well as highly unappreciative of their staff and drives teachers to leave and quit - they don't help their teachers, yet micromanage on an annoying and unnecessary level. Low salary but long hours!

Business Outlook

Pros

Everything is given to you - teacher manuals and keys, tests, worksheets, lesson plans. Good students in general.

Cons

Teachers are disposable and easily replaced, not appreciated or allowed to think for themselves and be your own. Management is inconsistent, unprofessional, not very experienced. Some treat you like idiots.
