Due to the myriad of experiences in this chat room, I'm hoping to obtain the best and worst parts about teaching at NOVA. The reason I'm asking is I know that there are good and bad points to EVERY job and would like to prepare a little for those. ALOHA and MAHALO!

I did notice on the vocaro.com link that the helpful Trevor wrote about the close quarters of the 'teachers' lounge that -
