      Pros

      Very professional and smart staff at all levels; most administrators have many years of experience; the schools are well appointed and well supplied ... many amenities

      Cons

      None, really; anything I ever complained about was minor and the administration always did its best to address the problem or fix it

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the fine support for teachers ... thanks for not strapping us with so much extra conferencing and training, esp since most of us are well seasoned
