What are these illegals going to teach?
There are good students, freah out of college, who can teach and would gladly go where needed.
My cousin Jack graduated from a teacher's college in Wisconsin and his first job was teaching done in the Bayou area. You go where it's needed.
I just wonder if those teachers credentials check out of if it's just another csse of stolen identkty.

Oh these must be new recruits for the NEA, to teach the already existing Illegals in Spanish instead of making them learn English.

Now who is the bonehead that came up with this idea?

I'd have no problem with this as long as they are here legally. But, are these teachers here to teach Hispanic students of legal immigrants or illegal aliens? If children of legal immigrants, they should be taught ENGLISH.

My wife taught school for 27 years in California
and she retired 5 years early...Why you ask?
Because it was no longer a pleasure. To be very
frank it turned into crap.The so called no
child left behind is a joke.She taught Second
grade and I saw first hand what those kids had
to learn,stuff I had in the 6th&7th grade and
they are taught to the test not to comprehend
the all mighty test not how much the child will
retain...She was a Mentor teacher, teacher of
the year and had letters from parents as long
as your arm thanking her for teaching their
children...money was great and her ius where
the teachers from the Philippines.Mexico ect
come in will have temporary status and very
low pay scale and very easy to get rid of...
As for the teachers Union they don't do squat
they take the money and run...The Govenor and
the state board of education set the curriculum
not the union...Parent involvement is key to a
good school One last rant a lot of schools are
doing away with recess, that is so wrong along
with art and music.We are on the way to turning
out a generation of stepford children...

Socialism in the form of bilingualism and multiculturism marches on in our education system.

Bonita senoritas make mucho $ dinero $ teaching Utah Utes, Aggies and Mormon BYU Cougars how to hablo espanol, si? Sorry Alamo's 189 Texicans - you died in vain!!!

darthcrUSAderworldtour07 Sorry Amigo!! they
will be lucky if they see 20,000.00 a year
Here in Idaho it starts around 20,000.00 In
California its around 42,OOO.OO I'm going
to say this once more You Need parents to be
involved they will make or brake a school...
Unlike my wife my daughter taught in an inner
city school.and as for the parents if they ever
came then they blamed every one but them selves
because little sonny was failing One last rant
the school is not a friggen baby sitter or are
they there to teach Manners and politeness
thats Mom and Dads job and from what ive seen
they arn't too good...I would love to see some
of these critics teach a week in an inner city
school,man they would chew you up and spit you
out...

Lynn you right. This is just wrong and to take so many jobs away from citizens of this country too.

Mark...... bonehead is right.

Bob I agree, if they are here legally no problem. But why are they coming here to push speaking Spanish it may or may not say that but it will end up that way.

Tincan Sailor, thank you for sharing about it.
My sister in law is a teacher and she has had some real horror stories to tell. They live in Illinois.

Tom it sure does. The teachers I have heard from were forced to have to learn Spanish just to cater to the illegals etc. that do not speak English and don't even try to.

Darth,yes, those at the Alamo would be furious to see how this country has slapped their efforts in the face with all this kiss up to the illegals.

I am a science teacher (Physics and Chemistry), who had to leave my husband, and move to South Carolina to teach. Jobs in my hometown of Cleveland, OH at that time were nonexistent.

Part of the problem of shortages in certain areas (Math, Science, and Special Ed) is that schools of education admit regardless of need for teachers in that area. The out-of-work teachers that produces causes the massive unemployment, particularly in Elementary Ed, Social Studies, and non-core areas (Phys Ed, Music, Art, etc.).

The other part of the program is that certification and licensing of teachers is local to the state. A friend of mine (a Physics teachers who is ranked among the top 100 in the country) had to jump through hoops to qualify for certification in GA recently - he was moving there to join his wife and daughter. Georgia wasn't sure that he was Highly Qualified!

The funny thing is that, under the current standards, my husband (individually certified in OH in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math, and Computer Science) isn't listed as HQ in SC, although I am - and I regularly ask him about concepts I am shaky on, or how to teach.

The agencies that vet these teachers take a HEFTY cut of the teacher's salary. Some of these foreign teachers work out, some don't, mostly for reasons to do with language or culture (most are shocked at the disrespect they are shown - not like their own country).

Why isn't a NATIONAL registry of teachers available? Why don't we have a NATIONAL test (technically, we do - the PRAXIS - but the states often set a special test for their state teachers, which ETS administers)? A teacher who qualifies on a certain test should be given a license good for ALL the states. The National Board Certification works, but only for teachers with experience - and it's VERY expensive.
