Elementary School Teacher Reviews
What is it like working as an Elementary School Teacher?
May 2021
Elementary School Teacher:
Being a teacher is great because of the students. It can be very frustrating at times, as the decision makers don’t seem to have a grip on the pulse of its employee population. I do not believe the district backs up it’s mission of serving our diverse student population in a way that is meaningful and impactful.
