Pros

The kids are amazing to work with because they truly understand how the real world works.

Cons

Most of the schools I've worked at treat kids like prisoners. I've had coworkers tell my kids that they were stupid and now those kids believe it. It's frustrating that so many unfit "teachers" are hired.
