Pros

Changing one student life at a time... Vacation was a Above All... Paid Holidays and Retirement Plan for Teachers is a Plus in this Economy...

Cons

Getting "FIRED" without CAUSE...But they claim its Reduction in Force... No Administrative nor Parent support... Shabby insurance... No Child Left Behind... How about "NO TEACHER LEFT BEHIND"... In the year 2012, the classroom sizes will increase from 1:22 teacher to student ratio TO NO LIMIT to students in classroom.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
