Schools in IL, FL, AZ and CO hiring teachers from Philippines to fight staff shortages

AZTEC, N.M. - It was a cold Monday morning at C.V. Koogler Middle School in Aztec. Students stumbled into Shannon Albores' history class and take off their rumpled jackets. After reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, they greeted their teacher by saying in unison, `magandang umaga!'-- which is Filipino for `good morning.'

Albores was born and raised in a city called Cebu in the Philippines. There she earned a teaching credential and started teaching kindergarten and elementary school. She liked it, but after learning of an opportunity to teach abroad -- and with it, the chance to earn a higher salary -- she took the opportunity.

Albores, along with seven other teachers from various parts of the Philippines, started working in the Aztec Municipal School District at the start of the 2019 school year to fill persistently unfilled vacancies at the school district, especially in special education departments in all grade levels.

"These are positions that had been vacant for seven years," said Tania Prokop, the Deputy Superintendent of the Aztec Municipal School District, "luckily we found a local company to bring teachers here from the Philippines."

It’s a much better option for educated people from the Philippines than being construction workers or house cleaners in the Middle East. Best wishes to them.

So true. As the schools are today they are basically just communist propaganda factories. Get the federal government out of education.

.... even the poochie knows that.
