American teachers get paid fairly for what they do. I think most of the school systems and places where foreign teachers go are glad to have them. So, no and no to your assertions.

Some will hike 3 miles of tropical jungles , cross rivers just to teach with a pay of less than 400 dollars per month
I beg to disagree. There are some teachers who join labor unions and party-list systems and voice out their grievances. These protesters raise the issues on salary increase, better benefit packages, and quality education among others. If only the Philippines government will hear their pleas and re-appropriate the national budget to focus on education, public health, and agriculture --sectors on which ordinary Filipinos will be greatly benefited.

@Ronnie the most that I've been to was 120 students.

It has come full circle! Over 120 years ago, when the Philippines was a U.S. territory, the U.S. brought hundreds of teachers to the Philippines to educate the masses. They were informally referred to as the "Thomasites", named after the ship that transported them all over the Philippines. Prior to the arrival of American teachers in the Philippines, education was not available to the masses, limited mainly to the privileged. Now Filipino teachers are arriving in the U.S. to provide the same service the Thomasites provided the average Filipinos from 120 years ago! I love this.
Unless you’re one of those who believed you were called to teach, I can’t find a single reason (other than summers off but even that is questionable) why anyone would take out hundreds of thousands in student loans to attend college, earn a degree, and work for a teacher’s wage anymore.
Registered Medical Nurses and Classroom Teachers are being outsourced by the thousands annually from the Philippines by several countries around the world. The outsourcing scramble is hurting the talent pool of the Philippines.
So long as they can hire cheaper teachers from overseas, the pay will remain low. It's offshoring of jobs. Businesses and governments are willing to do this wherever there's no blowback. Nothing against the incoming teachers, BTW. They're being offered opportunity.
38 students, just based on numbers, is actually easier for the Filipino teacher as they are used to handling around 50 a class (at least back when I was a student)
@@bucktooth002 well..yeah local (Filipino) students are, I think in general, behaves better. Teachers re respected. Not saying they don’t there, I’m saying it’s more
I Hope American Teacher's Union don't blame those Filipino teachers being hired and hope they will get the salary raise that they truly deserve. God Bless.
The commencement of formal education in the Philippines was first established by the Americans. Thus, almost all aspects of Philippine curriculum were based on American standards even up to this school year. We were colonized by the Americans, educated by them, taught us modern and western culture and showed us the true essence of democracy. We owe it to the Americans. We always have a good relationship with each other and I don't see any problem filling out teaching vacancies in American schools because we are persistent, generous, committed and loving teachers. We can sacrifice a lot of our happiness for our passion, family and dreams! God Bless America!
Teachers from the Philippines teach primarily out of live. Financial consideration second. The salary situation of teachers in America are understandable. It is the same here in the Philippines. In both countries, salaries are not that high.
I'm a Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics teacher here in Papua New Guinea. I sent my application to Arizona but unfortunately never continued due to constraint in finance.

They are good teachers. Cream of the crop in the Philippines. Actually it's a "Brain Drain". You are getting the best teachers the Philippines produces. These teachers that were picked are the ones who went to prestigious schools in the Philippines and most of them are the top of their class. If they can only be paid well enough, they don't mind teaching in their country, You guys are lucky. You are getting the best teachers with the same or better curriculum the Philippines produces. My wife's cousin now living in North Carolina teaches Math and English. A product of an exclusive school in the Philippines. She speaks perfect English. She doesn't need any aid or spell checker in teaching. She is super smart.
During the early 1900 there is a group ship full of American teachers called the thomasites. It's a one way ticket to teach Filipinos to read, write and speak english and other subjects. Now this generations of Filipinos are paying it forward.
Filipino people are very highly educated and they speak dual languages which is Tagalog and English. Some of them are doctors, many of them are nurses, teachers, computer engineering, accountants, fashion designers, and in finance management. These professions are very common in the Philippines 🇵🇭. We just value education just like 👍 India 🇮🇳. I think these two countries are the ones who can speak good English.

People don't want the job because it does not pay enough money for the standard of living here. I wonder if the teachers that are coming from abroad realize the cost of living in the US is much more expensive. Because they're willing to settle for worse quality of life teachers in the US will never get paid properly now. I also feel bad for the kids in the Philippines whose teachers are leaving.
It really just all depends. If it's a good position, a person living here would likely take it. I was shopping out west and heard two teachers talking from Arizona. It was insane. Not the students but how they were treated by the leadership of the state and policies. I mentioned this to a friend of mine who's brother moved from Michigan to AZ to teach. He moved back after 1 year based on the system. My friend pretty much confirmed what the two teachers were telling me. The story should be, due to how AZ treats teachers... they cannot find teachers.
@MrDarenMakoalahy that would not be the case where I live. On youtube like this, I don't know if it's an injustice to you or if you are difficult and have short comings you are not aware of. You'd be hired on the spot where I live.
@@manish3112 You obviously have not been to the Philippines. You might be surprised to find out the positions held by graduates from the top private schools - global companies and institutions. Thats for you to find out. IGNORANT COMMENT.
Q. Can the school really afford to raise the salary of teachers ? If so, there's no need to import less expensive just qualified teachers and local teachers would stay. Not having teachers to teach is not an option for students and parents.
It is doable. The American gov't perhaps need to re-evaluate their budget priorites, wether they continue to put the bulk on military expenditure or put them on other important matters such as education budget, etc. Even their infrastructure needs rehabilitation.
I understand the reasons of the Filipino teachers who applied but it lowers the quality of good education in the country when they leave their students.
$8000.00 is a big amount upon processing fee .Is any sponsorship to make the processing of papers will no longer be a burden?What about the age limit as teachers applicant?
Are you really thinking this through? Do we need foreign teachers to provide diversity in the classroom? How would YOU like to have YOUR job outsourced because your employer would not pay a fair wage for your training, education, and experience? Trust me, these foreign teachers are NOT being placed in classroom where diversity is needed the most.
@Joseph Gutierrez on what basis are you making such a ridiculous statement? Are you a credentialed American teacher? I doubt it. Do you have any idea as to the extend of education and continuous professional development American teaches undertake? Probably not. What an ignorant comment.
My SIL is in her first of 5 years in USA. Eventually she will discover that her salary (pretty good) will only be enough to cover expenses and a bit more but NOT for saving money to live back home. After 5 years she will likely not have much to show for her labor. That is why I left the US when I retired. Most of my money would have been eaten away by inflation, taxes, medical, and insurances.
I was in the math teacher program and saw the difficulty of those doing student teaching to little brats that don't want to learn. The parents don't back you up. You can't be in their home to make them do their homework. Not worth it for the low pay
It's a great opportunity for my fellow Filipinos and I'm happy for them but it's also a bad thing for the Philippines since we are losing talented nurses and teachers.
Unfortunaetly, any state in the Southwest is going to have crappy teacher pay. Farmers and ranchers do not generally have education as a big priority and thus, teacher pay is low. They don't think it's that important, so they won't fund it with their taxes. I formerly lived in Colorado where teacher pay ranks 46th out of fifty states. Arizona is 45th. Don't expect that to change.
ปีที่แล้ว
Sure, it makes total sense to pay the same as one of those states where the cost of living is absurdly high. If those southern states suck, why do people striking not just move to California or New York? (there they can earn 2X and far from farmers and ranchers).
I am also interested in Teaching in America I am currently undertaking and on my first year as Bachelor of Secondary Education student and will be majoring in English or Science. Hopefully this will help me to sustain and provide for my mother and younger brother which I will help to send him also in college.
It's only fitting. Most of our nurses are from overseas and they are the front line in our fights against Covid-19 in America. When there is a shortage of teachers you reach out to other nations. Time is of the essence for school. Kids grow up and don't pause year to year in their education.
The worst part of being a foreign teacher in the US is the children are so rude and disrespectful towards teachers. The sole fact that she's a teacher will already gain basic respect.

@Jürgen Bergmann If more parents teach their kids good manners and right conduct, then it would be better. Don't just send your kids to school because it is required by the law. You must lead by example and follow through what's going on with your kids.
Each case is different. It is not only the qualifications of each teacher that are important, but also his human qualities. The teacher must find an approach to the heart and mind of every student he teaches
Funny how with a bachelor's degree and seven years experience I didnt get hired for 40+ teaching jobs I applied to. I had to go back for a masters just to teach.
Right there are plenty of USA education graduates that can't find jobs, but they go overseas to hire folks...it's a con game so that they can keep salaries low.
I call BS. First, schools prefer to hire non-Master's degree teachers because they are cheaper. You can easily find a teaching job, unless you are absolutely horrible in interviews.
I thought it was just me, but most folks in my masters program and similar programs had the same problem getting hired. But then the schools complain how they can't find teachers who want the jobs. It is quite strange to me, the disconnect.
2:12 she said it herself. The problem is funding. She see all these outsourced professionals filling in spots causing delays on increase of funding when the funding isn’t there from the get go. Let’s say these outsourced teachers are not even an option to fill in the lack of teachers in the US. The American teachers aren’t just going to comeback teach just like that with just minor increase of salary. A lot of American teachers not only complain and change careers because of funding. They are choosing not to teach because they see no potential growth in their career in that field, risking their lives with all the security and gun issues that are constantly happening in schools and the fact that they have little to no support from the government to teach (I see teachers here in US having go fund me page to get some school materials). The problem here is the lack of passion and tolerance/adaptability to difficult situations, underfunding of education in the US, and the lack of respect to the teachers and educations by the students, parents, and govt. The problem aren’t these outsourced teachers. The problem is the system/culture that we have in the education sector.
OK, so average teacher salary is 60k in the US, so WHY is it 42k in Arizona? Is there a lower cost for living expenses? It's the same as buying a house in two different places. The exact same house built in a large urban area vs a small rural area will probably have a price tag that differs by as much as six figures!
Philippines had high quality teachers because our government putting huge amount of budget for our education department. there are some controversy, issue also. but you cannot deny that our teachers are in top caliber. also our english was good
I think it's great that Filipino teachers have this opportunities to get higher pay than what they get in their country but it's also realizing how that these schools would pay them a salary that is actually lower than what they should be getting that's why they have a strike
It's OK for filipino teachers going abroad because they can earned many times compare there home country. So that they can have a better future for there life. Although there is public teacher shortage in Philippines. I think it is more important to deploy all filipino teachers going abroad. So that it can be alarming soon for the government. If there is alarming for teachers shortage. The government implement there salary became higher.

Whoa whoa whoa. This is flat out false premise. We've fundamentally devalued the teaching profession over the past 30 years. It goes well beyond just money. There is a much larger untold story here. American politicians aren't prioritizing and making the investment in education like other countries around the world.
They just don't pay teachers enough to make it a competitive job selection. Because of that, not only do they need to hire teachers from abroad but they also need to keep those teachers that don't even know how to teach!!!! :(
@OwnOwnOwnOwnOwnOwn So, clean your act so that you will not be importing foreign teachers. Most of these foreign teachers are cream of the crop. You must be thankful. You are getting good teachers not the ones that graduated on line with no or poor teaching experience. By the way, most scientists America had are from foreign counties. Originally rounded up and brought to the US after the 2nd world war.
Poor public school teachers. Starvation wages, etc. This is an old saw not accepted by many today. Teachers will leave public schools and take lower salaries in Charter Schools. Strangely enough some very capable people are coming here to work. More than a few of them are going to become citizens and be glad to get the pay. A great many people have chosen like me to leave the public school system. My daughter is a college graduate with a PHD. She had never been in a public high school.
As to the H1-B fees...I have seen school districts pay in full, split the cost with rhe teacher, and I have seen teachers pay the H1-B fees in full ( which is illegal but I still see it happening).

Unless you’re one of those who believed you were called to teach, I can’t find a single reason (other than summers off but even that is questionable) why anyone would take out hundreds of thousands in student loans to attend college, earn a degree, and work for a teacher’s wage anymore.
Sounds like my sister, they had her work with special children like it was a daycare for 5 years. 😅😭😂😆🤣
Registered Medical Nurses and Classroom Teachers are being outsourced by the thousands annually from the Philippines by several countries around the world. The outsourcing scramble is hurting the talent pool of the Philippines.
Or they could jus start paying American teachers the living wage that they deserve.
So long as they can hire cheaper teachers from overseas, the pay will remain low. It's offshoring of jobs. Businesses and governments are willing to do this wherever there's no blowback.
Nothing against the incoming teachers, BTW. They're being offered opportunity.
38 students, just based on numbers, is actually easier for the Filipino teacher as they are used to handling around 50 a class (at least back when I was a student)
38 monsters
@@bucktooth002 well..yeah local (Filipino) students are, I think in general, behaves better. Teachers re respected. Not saying they don’t there, I’m saying it’s more
I Hope American Teacher's Union don't blame those Filipino teachers being hired and hope they will get the salary raise that they truly deserve. God Bless.
Low paying job, disrespect from students, politics...why are teachers protesting?🤔
They are the worst neighbors. Very loud annoying inconsiderate and clueless people to live by
The commencement of formal education in the Philippines was first established by the Americans. Thus, almost all aspects of Philippine curriculum were based on American standards even up to this school year. We were colonized by the Americans, educated by them, taught us modern and western culture and showed us the true essence of democracy. We owe it to the Americans. We always have a good relationship with each other and I don't see any problem filling out teaching vacancies in American schools because we are persistent, generous, committed and loving teachers. We can sacrifice a lot of our happiness for our passion, family and dreams! God Bless America!
Educational System in the U.S. is a sacrificial lamb (for national budget) so they can maintain their military power.....saddddd!!!
that's the tea sis
Teachers from the Philippines teach primarily out of live. Financial consideration second. The salary situation of teachers in America are understandable. It is the same here in the Philippines. In both countries, salaries are not that high.
It's not just low pay and large class sizes that make for a lack of teachers. A lot of small rural towns cannot find people willing to move out there.
42,000 will get you a lot in Tucson though. It's a super cheap place to live in. I mean it sucks there but it's beyond affordable with 42,000!
It's kind of crappy pay for an average salary of a college graduate and that number includes master's degree recipients too.
@@kalel33 It's more than I make with a master's in Minnesota (not in teaching, though).
that's not enough to pay my air conditioning bill in az
I have a lot of respect to our teachers here in America and all over the world.
I'm a Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics teacher here in Papua New Guinea. I sent my application to Arizona but unfortunately never continued due to constraint in finance.
As long as they are good teachers keep hiring
Most of them have master’s degree so they are very qualified.
OwnOwnOwnOwnOwnOwn the correct grammar is paid NOT payed.
I am educated in a 3rd world country, the Philippines but I passed your nursing board NCLEX-RN. I believe we have decent level education otherwise we would not be expats. I am an expat nurse now here in the middle east and they don’t want us Filipinos to leave their country.

They are good teachers. Cream of the crop in the Philippines. Actually it's a "Brain Drain". You are getting the best teachers the Philippines produces. These teachers that were picked are the ones who went to prestigious schools in the Philippines and most of them are the top of their class. If they can only be paid well enough, they don't mind teaching in their country, You guys are lucky. You are getting the best teachers with the same or better curriculum the Philippines produces. My wife's cousin now living in North Carolina teaches Math and English. A product of an exclusive school in the Philippines. She speaks perfect English. She doesn't need any aid or spell checker in teaching. She is super smart.
A high school just outside of Phoenix has a teacher from Ghana, Camaroom and one from India.
good for them and it shows how disfunctional we are
During the early 1900 there is a group ship full of American teachers called the thomasites. It's a one way ticket to teach Filipinos to read, write and speak english and other subjects. Now this generations of Filipinos are paying it forward.
Filipino people are very highly educated and they speak dual languages which is Tagalog and English. Some of them are doctors, many of them are nurses, teachers, computer engineering, accountants, fashion designers, and in finance management. These professions are very common in the Philippines 🇵🇭. We just value education just like 👍 India 🇮🇳. I think these two countries are the ones who can speak good English.

@@insomniacfirehorse6425 what $2K USD in rent in BD , are you staying at luxury flat? It depends may be it will be $1.5K in her area, you should consider other costs like food, taxes etc.
This is a give back to the passengers of USS Thomasites 120 years ago.
People don't want the job because it does not pay enough money for the standard of living here. I wonder if the teachers that are coming from abroad realize the cost of living in the US is much more expensive. Because they're willing to settle for worse quality of life teachers in the US will never get paid properly now. I also feel bad for the kids in the Philippines whose teachers are leaving.
It really just all depends. If it's a good position, a person living here would likely take it. I was shopping out west and heard two teachers talking from Arizona. It was insane. Not the students but how they were treated by the leadership of the state and policies. I mentioned this to a friend of mine who's brother moved from Michigan to AZ to teach. He moved back after 1 year based on the system. My friend pretty much confirmed what the two teachers were telling me. The story should be, due to how AZ treats teachers... they cannot find teachers.
@MrDarenMakoalahy that would not be the case where I live. On youtube like this, I don't know if it's an injustice to you or if you are difficult and have short comings you are not aware of. You'd be hired on the spot where I live.
Expensive private schools in the Philippines have an average of 30-35 students per class. 38 is not really a bad number.
Pvt schools are mega crap in Philippines
@@manish3112 You obviously have not been to the Philippines. You might be surprised to find out the positions held by graduates from the top private schools - global companies and institutions. Thats for you to find out. IGNORANT COMMENT.
Be thankful that there are still teachers who want to teach our children in school and still has the patience to deal with students.!
Same thing happened to fi,I
Ina nurses fifty years ago
So..... now, the Philippine Teachers are teaching Americans,,,, it is like paying back, they taught us, we teach them!
Brilliant move, some of my best teachers were from overseas.
So america is not only hiring Filipino nurses but also Filipino teachers...
Q. Can the school really afford to raise the salary of teachers ? If so, there's no need to import less expensive just qualified teachers and local teachers would stay. Not having teachers to teach is not an option for students and parents.
The real problem is the USA kids themselves.
It is doable. The American gov't perhaps need to re-evaluate their budget priorites, wether they continue to put the bulk on military expenditure or put them on other important matters such as education budget, etc. Even their infrastructure needs rehabilitation.
In the Philippines, there are more applicants than vacancies.
so what i'm getting is: the country of my birth and the country i am a citizen of both have no idea what they're doing with their education systems
I understand the reasons of the Filipino teachers who applied but it lowers the quality of good education in the country when they leave their students.
How big are the classes?
It really shows how Filipino people are hardworking people.. The US is fortunate to have Filipino teachers. They are highly qualified..
$8000.00 is a big amount upon processing fee .Is any sponsorship to make the processing of papers will no longer be a burden?What about the age limit as teachers applicant?
Honestly it adds diversity and passion to the classroom too. Sounds good to me.
Are you really thinking this through? Do we need foreign teachers to provide diversity in the classroom? How would YOU like to have YOUR job outsourced because your employer would not pay a fair wage for your training, education, and experience? Trust me, these foreign teachers are NOT being placed in classroom where diversity is needed the most.
@Joseph Gutierrez on what basis are you making such a ridiculous statement? Are you a credentialed American teacher? I doubt it. Do you have any idea as to the extend of education and continuous professional development American teaches undertake? Probably not. What an ignorant comment.
@@suzanneofthesouthernisles1224 fewer and fewer americans wanted to be a teacher. They would also rather work in big cities with higher pay.

@@cornucopiahouse4204 that’s great, you could probably choose to get a job at almost any state if you wanted I bet.
My SIL is in her first of 5 years in USA. Eventually she will discover that her salary (pretty good) will only be enough to cover expenses and a bit more but NOT for saving money to live back home. After 5 years she will likely not have much to show for her labor. That is why I left the US when I retired. Most of my money would have been eaten away by inflation, taxes, medical, and insurances.
I was in the math teacher program and saw the difficulty of those doing student teaching to little brats that don't want to learn. The parents don't back you up. You can't be in their home to make them do their homework. Not worth it for the low pay
It's a great opportunity for my fellow Filipinos and I'm happy for them but it's also a bad thing for the Philippines since we are losing talented nurses and teachers.
Unfortunaetly, any state in the Southwest is going to have crappy teacher pay. Farmers and ranchers do not generally have education as a big priority and thus, teacher pay is low. They don't think it's that important, so they won't fund it with their taxes. I formerly lived in Colorado where teacher pay ranks 46th out of fifty states. Arizona is 45th. Don't expect that to change.
Sure, it makes total sense to pay the same as one of those states where the cost of living is absurdly high. If those southern states suck, why do people striking not just move to California or New York? (there they can earn 2X and far from farmers and ranchers).
WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.
Yep! American teachers (thomasites) teaches Filipino children during 1900.
Filipinos are just giving back.
I am also interested in Teaching in America I am currently undertaking and on my first year as Bachelor of Secondary Education student and will be majoring in English or Science. Hopefully this will help me to sustain and provide for my mother and younger brother which I will help to send him also in college.
Ya
@MrDarenMakoalahyAre you serious. what the hell
It's only fitting. Most of our nurses are from overseas and they are the front line in our fights against Covid-19 in America. When there is a shortage of teachers you reach out to other nations. Time is of the essence for school. Kids grow up and don't pause year to year in their education.
The worst part of being a foreign teacher in the US is the children are so rude and disrespectful towards teachers. The sole fact that she's a teacher will already gain basic respect.
for many American kids in the US schools are nothing but prisons
@ they don't know how lucky they r. They have much more freedom than other countries they just don't realise it
@Jürgen Bergmann If more parents teach their kids good manners and right conduct, then it would be better. Don't just send your kids to school because it is required by the law. You must lead by example and follow through what's going on with your kids.
Love it
I’m glad they’re hiring teachers however, they still need to fix the root of the issue.
Teacher in pilipinas we respect and second mother we love them
Each case is different. It is not only the qualifications of each teacher that are important, but also his human qualities. The teacher must find an approach to the heart and mind of every student he teaches
Funny how with a bachelor's degree and seven years experience I didnt get hired for 40+ teaching jobs I applied to. I had to go back for a masters just to teach.
Right there are plenty of USA education graduates that can't find jobs, but they go overseas to hire folks...it's a con game so that they can keep salaries low.
I call BS. First, schools prefer to hire non-Master's degree teachers because they are cheaper. You can easily find a teaching job, unless you are absolutely horrible in interviews.
I thought it was just me, but most folks in my masters program and similar programs had the same problem getting hired. But then the schools complain how they can't find teachers who want the jobs. It is quite strange to me, the disconnect.
The real fact here is that you guys don't want to take the jobs. Quit being liars. 😂😂😂
@@tonyaldorsey Wrong. You demand too much and most of your teachers are certified not qualified.
2:12 she said it herself. The problem is funding. She see all these outsourced professionals filling in spots causing delays on increase of funding when the funding isn’t there from the get go.
Let’s say these outsourced teachers are not even an option to fill in the lack of teachers in the US. The American teachers aren’t just going to comeback teach just like that with just minor increase of salary. A lot of American teachers not only complain and change careers because of funding. They are choosing not to teach because they see no potential growth in their career in that field, risking their lives with all the security and gun issues that are constantly happening in schools and the fact that they have little to no support from the government to teach (I see teachers here in US having go fund me page to get some school materials).
The problem here is the lack of passion and tolerance/adaptability to difficult situations, underfunding of education in the US, and the lack of respect to the teachers and educations by the students, parents, and govt.
The problem aren’t these outsourced teachers. The problem is the system/culture that we have in the education sector.
They pay the sponsership fees but not give teachers raises?
wow if that will be a huges vacancy in Arizon@ more Filipino teachers will grab it having this opportunity .
OK, so average teacher salary is 60k in the US, so WHY is it 42k in Arizona? Is there a lower cost for living expenses? It's the same as buying a house in two different places. The exact same house built in a large urban area vs a small rural area will probably have a price tag that differs by as much as six figures!
My charter HS pays higher in California. Hopefully dr. Jill biden will champion her cause for education.
Philippines had high quality teachers because our government putting huge amount of budget for our education department.
there are some controversy, issue also. but you cannot deny that our teachers are in top caliber. also our english was good
yours is not so good though.
I think it's great that Filipino teachers have this opportunities to get higher pay than what they get in their country but it's also realizing how that these schools would pay them a salary that is actually lower than what they should be getting that's why they have a strike
It's OK for filipino teachers going abroad because they can earned many times compare there home country. So that they can have a better future for there life. Although there is public teacher shortage in Philippines. I think it is more important to deploy all filipino teachers going abroad. So that it can be alarming soon for the government. If there is alarming for teachers shortage. The government implement there salary became higher.
They’re scabs!
I just hope they prepare them for US kids as in the Philippines they treat their teachers with respect..
Hi Maam! I am a teacher here in the Philippines. I am willing to resign to apply for teaching job. Can you help me get a job offer there.

I'm the author of EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL the out of control and redundant OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING is chasing off more educators than anything else
Whoa whoa whoa. This is flat out false premise. We've fundamentally devalued the teaching profession over the past 30 years. It goes well beyond just money. There is a much larger untold story here. American politicians aren't prioritizing and making the investment in education like other countries around the world.
They just don't pay teachers enough to make it a competitive job selection. Because of that, not only do they need to hire teachers from abroad but they also need to keep those teachers that don't even know how to teach!!!! :(
I understand your frustration, but calling these Filipinos that they don't know how to teach is unfair. You're so ignorant to this matter.
And I saw some of your videos involving your child with Jimmy Kimmel challenge, you are a terrible parent.
@OwnOwnOwnOwnOwnOwn So, clean your act so that you will not be importing foreign teachers. Most of these foreign teachers are cream of the crop. You must be thankful. You are getting good teachers not the ones that graduated on line with no or poor teaching experience. By the way, most scientists America had are from foreign counties. Originally rounded up and brought to the US after the 2nd world war.
Really ?
I would take 42k to teach in a small rural area. Too bad New York requires a masters to teach.
Mabuhay po tayong mga OFW Teachers! 🙌
We don't need anymore of our teachers leaving the Philippines.
american s must their children respect
look at how disrepectful they are in schools
Poor public school teachers. Starvation wages, etc. This is an old saw not accepted by many today. Teachers will leave public schools and take lower salaries in Charter Schools. Strangely enough some very capable people are coming here to work. More than a few of them are going to become citizens and be glad to get the pay. A great many people have chosen like me to leave the public school system. My daughter is a college graduate with a PHD. She had never been in a public high school.
It's not the pay. Fix your kids.
Every child left behind
who bear the $8K sponsorship fee, the teachers or the schools? H1b visa or greencard?
As to the H1-B fees...I have seen school districts pay in full, split the cost with rhe teacher, and I have seen teachers pay the H1-B fees in full ( which is illegal but I still see it happening).
These Americans crying for higher salary while here in India, qualified teachers who don't get jobs because of vacancies are reserved for particular caste such as OBC, Schedule cast and tribe, are looking for job and none of shchools are willing to pay more than $ 200 or $225.
