Pros

The summers off and the ability to be home evenings with my kids most evenings. Planning time provided is sufficient as well.

Cons

No union in North Carolina, so the principals can make you stay late as much as they want, after school and before school duties are required, yet administrators are seldom there with you. My school requires working several sporting events and staying until the end. On teacher work days, we are never allowed to leave to get lunch out. No off duty lunch time- you are with the kids, in the cafeteria eating lunch.

Pros

Gaston County Schools' new superintendent, Mr. Jeff Booker, has done more for teachers than past administrations. Although he is not an educator by trade, he understands the business end of education and seems to be doing all he can to provide needed resources.

Cons

I noticed the person who commented above said the older teachers have a poor attitude and no computer skills. I don't think this person realizes that when most of us were hired there were no computers in Gaston County Schools. Is this our fault? While computers, the internet, SMART Boards and many other forms of technology have been put in place, very little hands on training has been given. Those is Title 1 Federally Funded Schools have received the most technology and training. Schools who don't have 50% or more of their students on free lunch (non-title one) receive very little in the form of training or equipment.
