*Lack of feedback and guidance; frustration occurs when you ask any questions and there are very little options for professional development or additional training.
*Lack of autonomy as a teacher; everything such as lesson plans, class rules, etc. needs to be approved by administration.
*Lack of student and staff diversity. If you are of a lower socioeconomic status or are not white, you may struggle to fit into the culture of this school.
*Parents will get upset over bad grades and demand they be changed
*Lack of job security; the job is a semester to semester contract which means you are not guaranteed a continued job after each semester ends.
*There is a lot of academic dishonesty that gets overlooked because everyone is afraid of upsetting students or their parents.
*Because outside substitutes are not available, be prepared to sub for other teachers' classes
*Classroom management can get difficult because there are not many widely enforced rules for students
