ahh, the old H1B visa rears it’s head again.
What better way to teach American children to hate America and Americans?
Declare that having taught the subject at community college for a year (and being a US citizen or already being green card holder) is a valid substitute for "education major" teaching credentials, and counts as a year of teaching experience for seniority purposes. The "tech shortage" will go away immediately.
Our local district gets an average of 300 applications for every opening on serious subjects.
Will they be compliant with teaching LGBT and Trans to Kiddegardners?
Public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the early 21st century. Their primary function today is to offer free daycare for parents that have sold themselves into indentured slavery.
A few years ago, the Cleveland Public School system made a push to hire from India all kinds of teachers. At the time, I was unemployed and my sister who had retired from that school system after 31 years, tried to get me an interview. Forgot to tell you that we’re both “white”.
I never got a phone call for an interview and they wanted nothing to do with me even though I was qualified to teach English and Math.
Well, they hired lots of Indian teachers, put them into the classrooms where they were disrespected by staff and students and eventually (and quite soon) every one of them quit the school system. They were NOT ABOUT TO HIRE ANY
“WHITIES” NO MATTER HOW QUALIFIED OR AVAILABLE THEY WERE.
Hmmm, STILL *the* solution: eliminate property taxes & the govt ‘education’ monopoly, return to ‘user pays @ time of service’
THEN, you’d see that the Free Market will *solve* this pesky little ‘problem’.
Plenty of teachers, classrooms, and money if 40 million illegals were gone.
It wouldn't be if they would tap the reservoir of retired scientists and engineers who would be willing to do part-time stints, and drop all the "ed biz" pablum.
I’m100% for this....and continous background checks criminal/emotional and psycho.
A shortage at the wages they are paying. What they are dong is pricing Americans out of the market who pay $100,000 to get a teaching degree. They hire foreigners that pay a fraction of that for the “degree”.
“...teachers in their fourth year at Casa Grande teaching science — a notoriously hard subject to fill with US teachers...”
The way our filthy public school systems are run and the “qualifications..lack of” demanded of teachers, the likes of Nils Bohr, Albert Einste8n, Werner von Braun etc wouldn’t meet the “standards”.
Great. Now they can teach ESL in yet another language.
Being from the PI speaking Spanish and Spanglish is an advantage now.
HOME SCHOOL!
Teachers from overseas might be smarter and care more. I dunno.
They’re hiring Filipinos in Casa Grande because she most likely speaks Spanish in addition to Tagalog.
The children in school in Casa Grande are mostly Mexican, maybe a few Pima indians. White kids are only 27% of the students in the CGUSD, even though CG itself is majority white.
This is what happens when the SCOTUS overthrows the laws of a nation of people and tells the people of the country next door that they are entitled to the money and resources of Americans. They simply stampede in and demand everything be handed to them. Like having teachers who speak their language and have the same European colonial history that they do.
Why would anyone want to be a teacher for a bunch of little entitled snot nosed kids that you can’t even discipline without losing your job? I mean the kids now a days slap their parents, threaten then with calls to CPS etc. And the ones who aint entitled are feral as their own parents won’t even feed and clothe or even buy them Christmas presents without getting them free from some charity!
I call bull crap here in Marin county
We have a Bunch of old ladies waaaaay last time to retire and tons of bright fresh new gals wanting to get into the public schools here !
Does this mean there is a shortage of white, single, elementary school teachers to celebrate Kwanzaa?
And just remember folks, never let a crisis go to waste. Time to tank up on more foreigners! Yay!
Assign them to inner city "schools". They will self-deport after one semester.
