Pros

Beautiful classrooms Good Kids (usually) Fun summer field trips

Cons

Meetings where you get yelled at for the whole hour and do nothing productive Purchase your own supplies for teaching Not even enough beds for all students to nap LIED about the pay During the summer had to get 30 preschoolers on and off the light rail with 1 assistant Often understaffed no REAL curriculum, just a binder of games to play Not enough chairs for all of the kids Often ridiculous hours (I was usually there 10-11 hours a day) No paid lunch No paid holidays, in fact you work EVERY holiday (except christmas day) No lesson planning time Had a kid who was physically abusive that director would not remove (he pulled my glasses off my face, threw them and they broke but it was my job to replace them)
