"I've worked for DISD for two years now. I can tell you that, while the pay might sound good at first, the higher administration in DISD does not have the interest of teachers in their mind. What they are looking for is simply results and to make teachers miserable through all of the bureaucratic things that they require from us. If there was a way that I could go work at another district, I would take the job in a heartbeat."
"Great school district with great teachers working there!"
