- Outsourcing jobs is nothing new to the United States. The country has been recruiting foreign labor to do its dirty work for decades - farmers, meat-packers, home healthcare workers, cooks. But now the U.S. needs teachers, and it needs them badly.
The same conditions that have led thousands of U.S. educators to strike and protest - like stagnant wages, underfunded schools, and overcrowded classrooms - have also contributed to a long list of vacancies in virtually every state.
The Department of Education's database suggests there are 46 states with vacancies (47 if you include the District of Columbia). And each of them has sizable needs that span several disciplines. Some states need teachers in all grades for almost all subjects.
So public schools have been getting creative.
Over the past decade, school districts around the U.S. have quietly begun using the J-1 visa program, which was originally created as a means of temporary cultural exchange, to fill persistent teacher vacancies. And no country has stepped up quite like the Philippines. In 2009, there were only a handful of public schools with Filipino teachers on J-1 visas, according to data from the U.S. Department of State. Today, there are more than 500, spanning at least 19 states throughout the country.

Appreciate Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Font Storage Scheme (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off guide for finding teaching jobs online minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 at very last got great results with it.
Great Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - Schallingora Font Storage Scheme (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for finding teaching jobs online minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my close friend Aubrey at last got astronomical success with it.
I wonder what the girl, Joanna, thought of the 2019-2020 school year, with especially how it ended remotely etc. because of the pandemic? Then if she's returning for the 2020-2021 school year, or if she had to return to the Philippines?
I'd like to get a copy of the transcripts of this clip.

John K you’re clearly incapable of constructing a proper sentence.
shes not wrong
John K see? That’s better. Aren’t you proud of yourself?

The other guy couldn't even spell "than" properly lmao.
Filipino teachers are moving to America because the schools in the Philippines can't prove them with a decent salary while American teachers are going on strike because they're not provided with a decent salary. I think both countries need to think about this.
Yet some people out there are praising Duterte's "free University".
In any case, skilled professionals ALWAYS leave their country for better pastures at some point, regardless of the state in which said country's economy is. Emigration is a privilege of the Middle class Educated Gifted and Talented .
Blame that to population explosion in ph. Filipinos especially poor not all of them tend to have many kids. Poor economy + lack of sex education and abstinence = poverty and crime.
Both countries provide low salary to their teachers. Americans, as usual, protest and defend their individual rights. Filipinos, as usual, sacrifice and endure.
Reminds me of Americans opposing against lockdown while Filipinos are staying, enduring at home.
Another one is american nurse quit her job in NY because the hospital could not provide for PPEs while Filipino nurses in NY and other countries continue to report for duty despite knowing the risks of dying.
When something's not right, Americans aren't afraid to speak out about it while Filipinos accept it as their destiny I guess.
@@nachannachle2706 we're talking about teacher's salary. Why bring "free university" here? I dont get the connection. Not all skilled professionals leave the Philippines by the way. But even if they do leave, it's still not a reason for the government to not provide free college education to the poor.
@@NP-km6rm Americans in general are liberals while Filipino are more of being conservative. Both traits can be a good thing and bad thing.
When she said “your students can put a drop of poison in your drink”, I had a flashback to my HS when two twin brothers in a chemistry class put hydrochloride acid in the teachers’ coffee. They urged him to drink his coffee and he got suspicious and tested it. They were expelled. I can imagine their parents thoughts

I went to middle school in the US and I remember having a Belgian teacher in our English class. The way many of my classmates treated her was absolutely appalling. They bullied her and continuously made fun of her accent. How she managed to go to work everyday knowing she'd face the same form of abuse and harassment from self obsessed, self entitled kids and their parents who tolerated their bad behaviour I will never know.
Born and raised in Manila, I was made fun of because of my accent when I first held my teaching position in the early 2000s. What made it worse was it was in Hawaii, a state whose people had peculiar accents, quite unlike those from the mainland. In addition, some of those students who made fun of me were of Asian decent. Talk about lack of discipline from Asian parents who became white washed. That taught me to somehow adjust my accent when speaking to my students and understand the way they think, become firmer, and at times (as what some students say) become "sassy" especially to the smart*** kids. LOL
@@goingplaces2274damn...
@@goingplaces2274 that's because Hawaiians are racists.
then they ask why school mass shootings is a common occurence in the US. their kids are unhinged
@@goingplaces2274The appalling part is they expect you to earn their respect when some of the aren’t respectable people at all. Accounts from friends in America honestly shocked me since in the Philippines teachers gain the highest form of respect from their students, from the greetings and how they conduct themselves, It shocked me.
Teachers jobs are outsourced due to pay. Hard to live in America on the pay. So let's under pay foreigners to do the job of educating out youth. Insane. Shallow thinking, very short term.
Ironborn Pyke Exactly
Exactly! I don't understand why people cannot see this. Simple supply and demand. Shortage of labor causes increase in wages. The districts are so cheap that they do not want to pay more for more teachers. They want all of us (including these foreigners) to be poor and struggling to live.
The elites do not need us anymore. You are obsolete. They used our money to tear down the old system and replace it with their system. Good luck.
@@brianniziol6479 Exactly! People don't realize this and always fall for the "We need more immigrants because our population is aging or there are no workers available" scam. In reality, the elites do not want to pay. They want us poor and easy to control.
The value of the US dollar is quite high overseas.
Now wages will go even lower. Because international teachers will not complain and will take less just for opportunity
Is $60,000 already that low?
Ian Homer Pura That isn’t a normal teacher salary...
Ian Homer Pura lol no teacher gets paid $60,000 what did u get that crazy number
@@MrWatchmen759 just an assumption of mine.
If that's the case, how much do teachers earn in the US? Because here in PH it's $5,000 annually. No wonder our teachers are trying to go there.
Ian Homer Pura 34k
This angers me. I come from an immigrant family and I’m happy that these people can have opportunities. But I’m angry that the US has such a bad culture with their teachers that they have to outsource them. This is so frustrating that we don’t appreciate teachers as we should!
That's not the real reason Nearth.. some of these school districts are so poorly managed that teachers don't want to work there, or they have terrible disciplinary problems and teacher safety issues.
Teachers unions are destroying American education
Teachers here fknn suck. I’ve lived in Chicago and went through public education until High school. Being a teacher in the union is just kick back relax and being on your lazy ass until you protest for more benefits. 80% of the teachers ive had are not nearly qualified to teach their own kids
I have worked in my school district for over 15 yrs, elementary, middle and high school. I can say for a fact that California salaries are decent for teachers but the stress is insane. Students are allowed to tell a teacher to F off, threaten, disrupt classes, with a suspension and returning back to school the next day. Young students are increasingly becoming violent and because administrators have the attitude that every child is entitled to an education, we often see 1 or 2 students who disrupt classes at the expense of the other 25 students . There are no longer consequences for bad behavior. Then you have students being passed on when they have no comprehension of the subject matter . I worked for a high school for 5 yrs And I was astounded That students could graduate with no basic math skills and couldn't put 2 sentences together. Schools get money based on graduation rates, regardless of what they know. Administrators high up are failing our students and our teachers.
All of the replies here are a nice showcase of why I left teaching. Little understandin of what it takes to do a good job, barely any support, if any to do it. Good riddance, the healthcare field has been so much better. He'll I will even be able to go on vacations and afford retirement someday now.
sooo... these districts are hiring foreign teachers as strikebreakers? I respect the Filipino peoples, and I applaud them for their determination and optimism. They deserve actual opportunities, not to be exploited because American school districts don't want to pay educators what they are worth
Not all of them. A lot of young US born teachers simply don't want to move to the countryside to teach even with financial incentives. Although I do agree that hiring foreign workers to break strikes is very bad
@@Longlius Its not very bad its horrendous and its treason!
Singapore, China and Thailand are also hiring Filipino teachers. Japan and South Korea are hiring ESL (English as a Second Language via Online Schools, so there is no need to go physically to Japan and South Korea) Filipino teachers. They are also giving very low salaries compare to Japanese and South Korean teachers. I think teachers around the world with the exception of Brunei and Singapore (they are #1 and #2 highest salary of teachers in the world) are paying teachers with low wages. Sad.
I know plenty of teachers in California Bay Area that cannot get jobs because they are being given to White Midwestern teachers. 😂now this? Please end the planet faster....please and thank you.
If another country paid me 15x what I was making here I'd head out.
But what if the cost of living is 15 times as much?
@@lelechim These teachers are living 4 per apartment to save money. They are not planning on staying. In these situations they are going to be sending money back home where it will go a lot further. This is a great deal especially if you get to go work a white collar profession.
@@jjuarez83 Exactly, this would only work for a temporary situation. I'd bust my ass for a few years, save up some cash even if it means sacrificing my privacy at home, then bounce once my time is up.
@@lelechim It usually isn't 1:1, they can save enough to send back home and its a lot of money
@@lelechim it's pretty much like a military contract except you're fighting angry parents and spoiled kids
I wish I could correct the interviewer...there are plenty of people who would love to do the job, but we just ask for liveable wages. It is a shame that our country is failing our citizens (both kids and teachers).
sparklyunicorn Exactly. I would love to be an educator but know I wouldn’t be able to support myself on such a salary. Shame bc our kids deserve teachers who truly care.

The high standard of living enjoyed by Americans are built on the hardwork of cheap labours around the world, including cheap teachers
It seems like history repeats itself, large old buildings in new york were built by slaves from africa.

@@johnwonder8720 thats exactly what the f i was thinking. they work half the year or little more and everyone else with a degree to lucky to make 40k in a whole year with 2 weeks vacation lololoo
These teachers are teaching in places where nobody wants to teach.
Everyone (not just white people) contributed to the growth and development of the US
My nephew’s high school had a Filipino English teacher. She was very nice, very knowledgeable, but totally shocked at the terrible behavior. She couldn’t control the class.
Ùqh
Yep! That’s the worst part!
She may not control the class, but that paycheck will set her up later. She will build a house, buy a pick up truck, and start a business in the Philippines.
@@EckRD Probably true, but I don’t think it’s right to use kids as cash cows. In the meantime, those that wanted to learn, whose right is to an education, fall behind. This happened to my sister in fifth grade. She had a teacher who barely spoke English, was intoxicated in class, and had no discipline in her room. My sister was very high strung and easily upset by fights, constant noise, and bullying. She had to remain behind in the U.S. with grandma for summer school while everyone else spent the summer in Ireland.
@@EckRD
They can do whatever they have to do with their hard earned $. They didn't steal or robbed your money. Besides majority of them are bachelor's, masters and doctorate degrees.
They are all excited about the money until they have to deal with rude American kids.

I am a Filipino teaching in a university here and I met a lot of Filipino teachers employed to teach k-12 here in the US.

Then, there is also WINTER!

Yup, very exploitative...
I found it funny how she knew the stark reality of how much of a culture shock they were in for. But to be fair, it did seem like she did at least try to prepare them for it honestly since her business depends on reputation, trust, and contract renewals/expansion from school districts

This has been going on for a decade and they target failing districts. This was happening in Louisiana in the mid 2000s and the teachers were treated badly. It did not work out well.
American kids don't have respect for their teachers.
same thing in Baltimore city, a lot of them went home crying even though Maryland has a large Filipino population.
Yea because the teacher Unions aren`t getting paid well enough AND they have to pay out of pocket for school supplies for their classrooms because they don`t make enough or the the school doesn`t get enough money from the US government etc.
@@CatOMattic not really black children aren`t the ONLY children that are doing bad in school in the US white, Latinos and others aren`t doing really good in schools nationwide etc.

These are facts you should be aware of because you can read about it, the government is involved. But you're probably not because like most sheep you stay on your own lot. The media loves to show these ghettos an schools so folks like you assume these narratives never happened an of course you go with it. I have worked in many school districts and trust me there are tons of white schools with disrespectful white kids who do drugs an fail classes, fight, spread sexually transmitted diseases to damn near the entire population. Among other things I could tell you, but this is not reported. An you are correct there are white an black schools were the kids 90% have grades well enough to attend ivy league schools. I said all that to let you know you sound uneducated about what's happening in the school system and your opinion was based off one or two schools you visited or heard about through media. Do your own research.
The wonders of American conservatism, implement neoliberal policies that favour cost cutting and privatisation but also complain when immigrants come to do jobs.
@Steven Lee thanks to both of you for understanding true political concepts. I knew I wasn't the only one.
Its very sad that people refuse to see it. Really need a change in values in most western countries, reward those who care, teach and protect. How are developing countries meant to keep pace when qualified teacher, doctors and nurses are leaving to contribute to other countries?

Didn't have to watch the video. I'm a former public school teacher with many years under my belt. I left because I couldn't do it anymore. People don't want to continue teaching because our culture is awful. People aren't parenting, teachers aren't allowed to hold students accountable, and I watched the public schools get gradually worse every year. They also don't pay well. It isn't worth it. I moved on, and so have countless other teachers. We all know what's up. The outsourced people won't last long either. The job now needs hazard pay. It's all down to a lack of parenting and accountability.

In Asia Teachers are almost worshipped, I'm not talking about money but respect. It's almost a crime to be rude of a teacher even when she's wrong. It's just respect. Parents will always ALWAYS take the teacher's side in case of any conflict between teacher and their child.
I'm a teacher in Malaysia and that's not the case at all.
In asia education is a priviledge in the west they tend to take it for granted
This Asia thing of worhipping authority is just dumb, frankly. You do have to be able to confront your teacher and they are not always right, nor always well-intended.
Of course the opposite is also destructive, because it's anarchy, which is what we have here in Brazil.
There needs to be a balance.
@@Guizambaldi Very good point. You're right.
In Europe, I think it is somewhere in between. You don't really worship your teachers and you can absolutely tell them if you think they are wrong, but it is still second most respectable job right after doctors according to public studies and generally students dont dare to disrespect them. Also most parents side with teachers when there is an argument although there are exceptions of course.
Sometimes when Filipinos go “Oi kamusta ka na?” They’re not really concern about your well being, they just want to hear gossip lol

I remember watching a documentary about some filipino teachers coming to teach in inner city schools in the US and being absolutely horrified by the way the students disrespected teachers and disrupted the classroom...
Depends on the neighborhood. Lpw income slums with absent fathers and improverish single mothers who are pregnant in their team's have more behaviorial/discpliary issues.
US talks about over crowded classrooms.
(Laughs in southeast asians).
Lmao. Ikr.
Yep. 60 students in one classroom. I experienced that.
From elementary to highschool, the average students per class is 70. Too many right? But it's fun and expensive if you're too loud and talkative in class. The "Class President" will fine you half of your daily allowance.
loughs at 65 and the teacher has the right to throw you an eraser

Fifteen years ago an American company tried to do the same thing in the Philippines. I was supposed to get certified to teach high school biology and they made presentations of high wages followed by images of houses in white picket fences with families in suburban communities. The perfect American dream that's constantly sold to third world countries. Then I heard stories of how sometimes students in public schools attack their teachers and make threats. Then came news of teachers protesting. Something didn't seem right. So I backed out and decided to work in other countries in a different career.

0:14 IM DYING THEYVE COVERED THE BASICS PERFECTLY
Its ironic to see this, because the American missionaries introduced the public education system to the Philippines when we were an American colony back in the day. Now, Filipino teachers are filling the gap. And that lady who owns the company? She learned to outsmart the US tax system by setting up the business in Delaware. I also saw the other documentary about the American teachers leaving the US and teaching in Asian countries that pay better salaries.
exactly..now the tables have turned..
She did not really outsmart the tax system, it's built that way on purpose, I wish it were properly addressed as the Delaware tax haven is part of the reason these teachers are needed. The tax base for communities is shifted out of state, which shrinks the pool of money, which shrinks what the cities can do, which in turn they pick schooling as something they can siphon funds from.
the Delaware dealio is business as usual for sooo many other small business owners as well. it's nothing new.
Well it's not because the quality of teaching, it's because Filipino teachers wont complain about the salary even theyre not really well compensated they will still take the job. Still better salary than in the Philippines.
petix len 52k per year what are they complaining about
Corporations moved manufacturing overseas in response to workers wanting to be paid properly for their work.
Now they have refused to pay teachers properly for so long that they must recruit from poorer nations?
This is a national disgrace.
Not just that, but the ongoing higher education tuition scams. Now a recent American grad with a master's in education will carry about $75k in student loans and has to compete against a foreign national who got an equal education at $0 debt. Wow.
@teachmehowtodoge I wanted to be a teacher, 4 years ago. The job is underappreciated, underpaid and have high expectations of them with minimum resources. Then you have shit parents that think that their children are god's angels. Change the education standard and cirrculum, bring up the pay and you'll see a jump in interest again. Right now, our education system only caters to a mind that is just able to perform basic tasks and nothing more, it hurts on creativity and growth. then you have teachers who go above and beyond for their students by going out of their own pockets to provide for their students/lessons, which up until recently Trump limited the amount that teachers could write off for expenses like that. The country is moving to privatize everything from Security (Prisons/Police/Army) to Education. This is one of the few countries to capitalize on other people's misfortune and imprisonment and would rather keep people down than rehabilitate like we see in more progressive societies. I remember reading somewhere that the country pays more on upkeeping prisons than investing on its educational sector.
Let's see a CEO make something in a factory by himself. Lol
Without the workers, their asses would have jackshit.
And yet the game played by CEOs has always been to pay workers as little as possible. That's your greed.

@@oldtwinsna8347 exactly, if I was an American I would be so angry.
Being a teacher in the US is not worth the headache. This will be the future in our school systems. Outsourcing from overseas.
I first thought she was charging way too much for bringing new Filipino teacher over, but since that fee covers travel and she works on booking the apartment so that it's affordable and she teaches how to fit into American society, it's not bad at all. Many other people or companies would bring them in unprepared with no help and just pocket all the money.
The concept of having to pay for a job lead is so strange to me. But, as you said, she seems to be providing a service. What gets me mad are the people who take a fee but end up doing human trafficking. Basically victimized twice!
This ain’t gonna end well.
well they did it for nursing staff for awhile already, not sure how much any of the teacher can do about it.
Why?? I kinda agree with you...The kids in this country are too bad
My money is on the filipinos. They are kick ass.
noir for nursing it’s not outsourcing. Nursing jobs are actually in shortage and a lot of the sections of healthcare where people don’t want to work are taken by immigrant nurses
@@tokee1234567 Same for teacher, there is shortage and people who look at the pay scale here know it isn't paying enough for the amount of work demanded.

Pacers143 ik i was think this as well. these teachers have no idea what there in for.
Don't mess with azzzians!
And the winter
Only b/c US gov't holds teachers back. Most countries don't put with that nonsense (students talking back, etc.).
Check what the Philippines is like right now. It probably won't scare them much.
Filipino will endure almost anything for the sake of their family, the culture adaptation of teaching very nasty students (as some comments say) will not be pretty, but this teachers will endure it.
yes I know that american students are rude to asians..racism is still a thing to them
That is almost all immigrants.
@@xsystem1 not all. Kids here just don't value education. Inner city kids aren't a joy to teach. I've always admired the persistence of pinoy kids who want to learn. I've seen kids cross rivers then walk in the rain just to get to school. I'd never see that here. And yes, racism is alive and thriving here. Racists and bigots are more bold now that Trump is president. It'll never go away. Way too many hateful people here.
@@samsson6430 I guess you've never heard of OFWs
That is very true I'm American I'm married to a Filipino so familiar with the culture. Me my wife and kids went in visit the Philippines and IAI met my Extended Family in the Philippines. I didn't want come back to America I wanted to stay in the Philippines I love it out there. One of the things I like about the Filipino people their Families are very important to them Including their extended family. I love my wife some family. If there was a way I would the back There I have a Pynchon I'm retired and very seen a be getting my soc security . The other thing I like about the Philippines when they Shall we speak for the old is someone that's old ask for help even if they don't know I'm they help. And there also are taught to show respect to others here in America that doesn't happen.
When I taught in Baltimore City we had a lot of teachers from the Philippines and Jamaica. They were fine teachers and colleagues.
If people don’t like this situation, then home school your own kids.
Public school teachers are being outsourced because most school districts require a master's degree and underpay their teachers.
According to a study by the Economic Policy Institute, all across the country, teachers pay a financial penalty to serve the public mission of educating our kids instead of entering more lucrative professions. In my state that penalty is 16 cents to every dollar. When benchmarked with median household income, teachers in my state make the 9th lowest salary in the nation. Combined with the fact that we have the lowest teacher working conditions in the country, and that budgets are still being cut left and right, class sizes increasing, 30+ teaching positions being eliminated, it's no wonder that they're outsourcing these jobs to the lowest bidder.
When the most important in-school factor in a child's education is the quality of teaching they receive, why would you put a larger focus on money than on the future of your country?
Capitalism is doing the same to wypipo that privilege did to ADOS throughout the centuries in USA. IT'S YOUR TURN IN THE BARREL!
@@curiosity3365 I'm certainly not contesting the fact that the actions of our ancestors and the continuous unacknowledgement of our privilege previously and continues to harm POC, especially ADOS.
However, even though POC may be justified in wishing an eye for an eye on us, I don't think that way forward is sustainable for anyone. I don't even think reparations will heal the hurt that our ancestors have started, and so many of us still reinforce, whether consciously or subconsciously. What we need is real, deep healing - the kind of healing that mends bones broken generations and generations ago. That can only happen once our society is educated, and can come together as one. That can only happen once our teachers get paid a fair, livable wage.
They only require a bachelors actually.
Casey many states require a masters.
Julia Morris That is an excellent point. Although teachers may get temporarily certified with Bachelor’s, I think all states require Master’s degrees for permanent/advanced certification these days-and the low salary, the labor-intensive nature of the job, poor resources, abysmal future prospect, etc. don’t justify the level of investment required toward certification in many cases. Instead of fixing the problems locally, they’d rather simply go overseas to get “cheaper labor” that is willing to work under inferior conditions, merely because things seem better than their home countries. These teachers are sent home after 5 years (unless they marry a local and get the green card), so continuity is definitely not a concern here at all.
What an embarrassing and true introduction.
thats stupid af, first they call americans fat and dumb, drink on fridays but in the end of the vid they eat mac donalds, holy crap, nothing bad about making fun of people, but they make fun of them yet they fall and sink into the same hole wtf wtf wtfw tfw wtf wtf scammers gettin scammmm

im just thinking about how bad the long term problem will be with education esp if the us government doesnt want to invest in their own education
I was 15 when my family moved from the Philippines to states. I was very shocked at how teachers were treated from the students to management. My aunt teaches in Brooklyn and pretty much rules with an iron fist. She said before she would cry with the burden of returning to work the next day. She’s learned since and is providing guidance to those who are new in the field.
Guidance like what?
Most administrations won't allow the iron fist rule. They'll fire you
They want to reduce the cost, but instead of firing some over paid admins, they just cut teachers pay
You got that right. If Apple won't sell a brand new iPhone for $10.00, that doesn't mean there's a shortage of iPhones. Likewise, if a school district can't hire teachers to work for below cost wages, that doesn't mean there's a shortage of teachers either.
By the way, I wonder how the CEOs of all these big corporations would like it if their jobs were outsourced to immigrants on H1-B visas? I'm sure there are 1000s of immigrants who would take a CEO position at a big corporation for only 10% of the current CEO's salary. If these overpaid CEOs were booted out and replaced with immigrant managers, that would save billions in salaries and cushy benefits.
The CEO of Boeing got a $20 Million golden parachute after the company fell in the toilet because of the 737 Max debacle. But is Boeing going to bring in cheap migrant labor to replace the company's incompetent management? Outsourcing is just for the Average Joe worker, but I don't think the fat cats at the top would go for that.
@@kansasthunderman1 its like the old saying of "the old wages war and it is the young who dies"
school district administration has risen steadily over the last 50 years, on average. then they threaten to lay off teachers if there is a budget shortfall.
@@1MinuteFlipDoc this is fuxked up. what has teachers union being doing ?
Sometimes I look at all the prejudice and ignorance spewed from some people’s mouth’s and it makes me embarrassed to know that this is what the world sees of Americans, such a shame.
The biggest problem with outsourcing teachers is that these teachers are usually terrible at managing American students and seem afraid of them, or afraid to discipline them. I took a teaching job in Abu Dhabi in 2010. I was shocked at how the children acted (mean, disrespectful, poor social skills (according to western culture). It took me 5-6 months to get my class under control. I am tough so for me, it was a challenge but I was able to do it and stayed there for over 6 years. I loved working with those kiddos and have fond memories of my life there. It also helped that I adapted their cultural dress(wore an Abaya and Shayla) and never talked about my own religious beliefs or theirs.
Nope. Here in the states, you will get fired for having a tough stance on students behavior.
This is what happens when you didn't not pay a living wage for teachers. then they bring some from other places that is willing to do it just because they country is below poverty.
@Pulling the Strings It's true but many of them do live in a cardboard box eating instant soups make their money and go to their countries and then we complain that they stole our work😊
I live in S. Cali & when Filipinos come to the U.S. they eventually start becoming Americanized with the plan of bringing more family here. I worked with them. Once they retire, they go back to the Philippines. The money paid to them should be paid to US citizen because most foreigners send their money back home not back into the U.S. economy the way US citizens put their money back into the economy.
this has already happened in the truck driving industry, shit pay, hardly no home time with the family, long hours, etc. and here comes people from a poor country thinking this is great money to have.... its a shame that now the education system is getting a shitty deal
@AG I don't hear anyone eager to raise taxes to pay local teachers more.
Donna B. I don't hear anyone telling you how to spend your money. If you buy anything that was made outside the US, you too are adding to their economy. I think that it is also important to mention that the global economy is not a zero sum game.
the pay is why they are bringing teachers from Philippines, they earn less then 400 dollars a month as teacher over there, so any teaching job for them is high pay, don't be mad at filipino's they are just taking the opportunity, be mad at your local state or gov for under value of education. 750 billion for military , and a not so healthy 59 billion for education ( that's it )
Sad that US gov't willing to spend more on military and fund war over the welfare of their civilians
It should be the reverse, 59 billion for the military and 750 billion for education.
@@brianbozo2447 It won't happen bcz the military is ONE of the biggest public job employers. Also factor in the mega corporation ( Intel, Microsoft, Raytheon, Boeing, Honeywell etc) that do business with the military.
Education is important, no doubt. But corporate USA is hungry for resources and talents.
The pay in the U.S. may be twice the pay back in the Philippines, but the cost of living in a big city in the U.S. is also twice the cost of the Philippines.
Here's another twist to this so called teacher "shortage". If Apple won't sell a brand new iPhone for $10.00, that doesn't mean there's a shortage of iPhones. Likewise, if a school district can't hire teachers to work for below cost wages, that doesn't mean there's a shortage of teachers either.

Filipinos are some of the nicest people you'll meet. Hard workers, polite, community and family orientated. Where work in Australia there are many Filipinos- I prefer working with them than many of the local Aussies.
But there's a serious issue when hiring foreign workers to avoid addressing on going issues with local workers - not just in teaching, or in America.
anyone who prefers foreign worker over their own is suspect, looking to exploit. Filipinos are some of the most racist people I have ever encountered.
@@jamilajohnson7460 hahaha i know your lying..
This has also happened with nurses from the Philippines going to the US in the late 80s/early 90s.
Most Filipinos live in dire poverty so they're willing to do the jobs Americans do not want no matter how underpaid and overworked they become.
52k is good. send half back home and build a mc mansion in 3 years. and to hell with the bratty kids
Not really underpaid. If they're bringing in around 50k and all their expenses are $650 rent, a cell phone, food and transportation. That's a lot of money they can send home or save.
@@reallifedisneyprincess2859 They make 4k a month and Asian people are very money smart they don't buy unnecessary stuff like Americans
The same can be said for the people coming over our southern border. The people are desperate so it's not their fault we would all do it to feed our families, the issue is the Americans willing to undercut their fellow Americans for cheap labor and bigger profit.

My first thought at the beginning of this video was about the cost of housing and the serious lack of affordable housing. Bigger salaries but also higher cost of living.

Everyone complains that they are taking jobs and making pay lower. But the school districts in rural America can’t find Americans willing to work in the middle of nowhere rural America. Where are these American willing to live and work in Montana, North Dakota, etc? When the oil boom was at peak in North Dakota the majority of oil workers were from Canada for jobs that paid six figures. Why? Because Americans would work one winter and quit because it was too cold for them so the companies hired Canadians instead. The same is happening for these teaching jobs because it’s not near the major cities and in the middle of nowhere. Anyone complaining that jobs are being taken is free to apply and move to Montana and see how they like the -40F winters while having nothing around you.
It's not just rural America. And it's not just in the teaching industry. It's in nursing, too. The two professions Filipinos are good at.
Now that everyone is addicted to their DEVICES, location should be a non-issue. People should be okay with living anywhere ---- mountains, desert, plains, farms --- as long as they have INTERNET access.
@@toady7741
Pretty much everywhere in the US have internet access, the reason why people aren't looking for jobs in rural area is that commuting is difficult and there are fewer job opportunity there, and those that existed doesn't pay as well as more developed areas. Commuting factor is the most overlooked one, many people think car is a financial liability, and would prefers places where they can walk or take a bus/subway to work and buy groceries.
I am far from being the only teacher who moved thousands of miles to the middle of nowhere, in order to teach. I am far from being the only one who can tell you that you are embarrassingly wrong, and are making a mockery out of this entire ordeal. The teachers don't take those jobs NOT because of lack convenience or comfort; they refuse to take them because the conditions under which they are forced to work _prevent them from teaching_ . They are given a sub poverty-wage, no materials, no support, while regulations strangle their ability to discipline unruly behavior. Meanwhile, exorbitant paperwork and legal fears take away every bit of their preparation time, dumping it into a constant waterfall of unnecessary meetings and documentation demands. Add the constant pressure to revolve everything around standardized tests, and the teachers quickly realized that the one thing that they were told they were hired to do was the one thing they would never be able to concentrate upon: TEACHING.
What experience, history, or insight grants you the boldness to make this claim about the teaching profession?
@@lotuskoko -- I see comments like this all the time, proclaiming the greatness of Filipino talent in education, nursing, or some other area. And then seconds later, I hear cries for Americans to avoid stereotyping Filipinos, demanding that everyone treat them all as individuals.
to say that Filipinos are simply good at education in nursing, implying that they are simply better than Americans are at those same jobs, is foolish, insulting, misleading, destructive, and arrogant.

My mom was an international school teacher in Okinawa, at the school that my pa and I attended. She was a product of Philippine Normal University, established by Thomasites, a group of 600 American teachers who arrived in Philippines aboard the USS Thomas. US Soldiers were the first teachers at public schools established by the Americans. They were the teachers of my great grandfathers, who eventually became teachers.
Well, considering how abusive students are allowed to be towards teachers thanks to shitty administrative practitioners and "protect the children" legislations, no wonder :O. A teacher can't break up a fight. A teacher can't defend themselves from a student that is literally assaulting them. A teacher can get fired for using a threatening tone. A teacher can get sacked because they have students who refuse to learn and parents who only view school as a daycare. A teacher may be expected to find classroom supplies out of pocket. NO WONDER WE NEED TO OUTSOURCE. Nobody wants to be abused for a living. Nobody.
Really? I would think the shockingly low pay would have a bigger impact.
We're abused daily by our government
@@tofu_golem that is definitely a part of it and hasn't changed. Most of the people I knew who went in to teaching wanted to make a positive influence in kids lives... And the kids turned out to be a whole lot more messed up than they thought and were resistant to help. I'm in Chicago and one of my friends just quit his job as a teacher.

Zack Amor class sizes and pay. That fixes the majority of issues.
Well the American kids are spoiled and lack discipline( talking back n wannabe thugz). All the resources and materials are there in school, but a lot of students lack decisiveness. Its not the school's fault many American kids are falling behind or dont care.
Your education system has multiple choices and homework grading . These teachers aren't the problem , the Americans are their own biggest enemy but as always , it's someone else's fault .
I know it might be unusual to have a teacher from another country, but if they are good they should be part of the mix.
Students benefit from seeing different sorts of teachers.
I'm no lefty, but diverse teaching is helpful.
This is frustrating as my mother is a public school teacher in California who is struggling to find a job.
The problem is they’ll take a lower wage and since American teachers are already paid so low and will protest they won’t take them.
I’m a Filipino High-Schooler living in the Philippines. My cousins are American citizens, and I’ve seen how they act in school. The typical “I hate school” kind of kids. They don’t get along with teachers very well.
In the Philippines, students love it when teachers essentially become one with the students. And that’s the case with most schools here, regardless if public of private. You can see here teachers laughing and talking with their students, and the students remain respectful. Even if pay is tough. We have a term here that when a class or section is very fun or always having unforgettable moments, we call it “solid.” And the teachers make it “solid.”
I promise you, here, you’ll have the best high school life. Full of fun friends, fun classes, fun teachers and activities. Will make you change your mind about moving to different countries.

I'm a filipino-american from Los Angeles educated in this horrible school system. Students today do not respect teachers because of the failure of the parents. There are too many divorced single mothers trying to raise kids with no father in the home. And if there is a father and mother in home then they are incompetent. This is the core reason why students are out of control.

Bro, then you have to question your whole schooling system... The fact that it is so expensive to go to college in the US, shouldn't be a thing, because it screws up so many people that are bright minded but don't have the money to pay or don't want a huge debt after graduating. All those private college schools need to be cut down.

I think it's open for any American citizens to apply. But what you will get are lots of excuses.
To be fair they are filling jobs that are vacant so it's not as if american teachers are getting fired and replaced by these teachers. Yes I know that raising salary will attract more people but also reducing the cost of college will help.
@@xtrey19x it's a vicious cycle. Do you want to spend 120k on college for a 40 to 70k per year job. At 1k per month that's 10 years to repay your loan. Pay needs to increase

@R B: I remember - attending a reunion in college in Asia after graduating over 50 years. In most Asian culture, once a teacher is always a teacher and is respected. At our reunion, former students of ages from 50-70 old went down on their knees kowtowing their former instructors, lecturers and professors.
This is a great idea, I think they would be non biased teachers. I mean they have an idea of our culture but they are very compassionate and eager to teach and work. Something many US teacher lack. I'm supportive of this alternative. Congratulations on a successful business ma'am. 💐
