Here in Canada the situation is strange. In BC the starting wage is $48,000 in the public system but $60,000 plus in neighbouring Alberta. Yet, there are more teachers than jobs in BC. Can’t make sense of it. The pay is crap yet people still go to school to train as teachers.
Regardless of anything else, filipinos are generally strong teachers with a good work ethic and they are very creative in the classroom (think decoratively).
Yet, there are more teachers than jobs in BC.

Can we recruit, and develop Snowbird teachers, who come to Florida from August to May? Probably not considering the following:
Unfortunately the starting wage of $48,000 in BC is way above the $37,636 that Florida’s governor Desantis is proposing for beginning teachers, and only $1,199 below the average teacher salary in Florida.
In my North Florida county, the top salary for teachers is $49,500. with 16 years of teaching experience.
Maybe we need to develop Sunbirds, who go to Canada to teach?
