Pros

The children and the moments with them that you realize you have made a difference in their life or even just in their day.

Cons

Tooooooo many to list. Zero training zero positive comments or encouragement zero chance for advancement made to stand in 90 degree weather and then only spoken to by administration when you do something WRONG because no one ever taught you how to do it.

"Wake-a-fied"

Pros

Enormous county with many teaching opportunities. Better pay than some NC counties.

Cons

WCPSS loves to "Wake-a-fy" curriculum materials their way - often taking excellent materials and requiring teachers to cut-out, amend, or change curriculum for the county's bizarre reasons; resulting in sacrificing the curriculum's intent, removing the excitement and engagement piece for students, and creating unnecessary headaches for teachers! Many principals are green, having been fast tracked through the system. Principals spend most of their time out of school in meetings instead of supporting teachers and students. Teachers are often left on their own to handle challenging students in their classroom without admin support.

Pros

Great coworkers Good Benefits Large Technology group for support

Cons

Unfortunately Marlo and the leadership team cares more about what will get them positive press headlines then they do about the Technology Department as a whole. Leadership is full of "Yes" people that will not challenge her view. Those that do challenge or question things are passed over for opportunities within the department. There are no opportunities for growth. Most of technology employees are micro managed.
