Chicago Public Schools Reviews
What is it like working at Chicago Public Schools?
Too many hats.
Assistant Principal in Chicago:
Pros: Helping students grow academically and socially
Cons: Some task take away from student academic growth
Don't be a teacher especially in Chicago.
Preschool Teacher, (but not Special Education) in Chicago:
Pros: None
Cons: Parents have no respect for the teachers, CPS does not give the best to the students (they give lower grade jail food, etc), the student-teacher ratio is too big, too much paperwork for the teacher, easily to get sued by parents (the teachers do not have any protection), have to take care homeless students (buying their supplies, etc from our own money), low salary compared to other cities in Illinois, too much corruption in the city body.
Challenging.

Fast-paced environment teaches you valuable skills.
Educational Resource Coordinator in Chicago:

Let them eat cake!
Special Education Teacher, Middle School in Chicago:
Pros: Pay and medical benefits
Cons: My commute
Substitute Teacher, K-12:
Substitute teachers are treated like second class citizens by some of the school staff. The pay is really bad. I think they should pay more because Chicago is an expensive place to live. The cost of living is high.
Elementary School Teacher in Chicago:
The benefit package is a little expensive.
