Public School Teachers are getting outsourced

[newworldafro]

Oh wow

I remember when Filipino nurses being recruted was a thing 15 years....never saw reachers though. This gone be intetesting.

 

[Red Shield]

We LAWST.

How does a country even allow this to happen in the 1st place?

the usa has never really taken education seriously. which is fine I guess as long as it's able to brain drain other countries

 

[Wild self]

I thought that a high demand of teachers would lead to a (much) higher base salary.....guess not, cause the wealthy and corporations refuse to pay taxes for infrastructure and public servants that support the future of humanity.

Free market my ass. Paying teachers fast food wages, and not willing to pay them close to these engineers that work in some greedy corporation that dont improve the quality of life for the general public is not how you solve the crisis.

 

[Serious]

At the end of the day, teaching is a government agency and is beholden to government. It's its own version of The Wire.

Breh why you giving @DEAD7 this type of fuel

Unfortunately, @DEAD7 is right. These teachers are government employees. State employees at that. Free market isn't at fault here.

Education is the first thing to get the axe financially here in Louisiana. Although Bel Edwards has been trying to fight this in certain ways.

 

[hashmander]

they shouldn't hire anyone if they can't afford to bribe an american to move to julesburg and watch a train go by as entertainment. the free market says that's a place that should die.

so stop juelsing julsberg, it's either you believe murica is for muricans or you don't.

Being a teacher isn't a good job anymore

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yeah this has been a thing for a lil bit. Recruiting teachers from the Philippines to fill hard to fill teaching jobs. This is what will happen if less people go into teaching.

And, by "hard to fill" that usually means jobs where the pay isn't commiserate with the demands

Teachers in some Texas districts start off at 55k per year (or nine months, whatever). It's not the most but it's a decent salary. Better than what some other states are offering to their educators.

Also, why do people keep bringing up college debt when discussing teachers? It's a four year degree plan unless something has changed. Some organizations (maybe it's Teach for America) will pay off the debt if you sign and complete a contract. I don't know if any public school district is doing this yet.

Unrelated, but teachers have an annoying sense of entitlement. The majority are overwhelmingly average living vicariously through those who excel as educators and get recognized for it. The teachers UNION is vilified but individual teachers are often looked upon with sympathy. It's a tough job, I get it, but a lot of them aren't doing it well enough to get a pat on the back just for showing up and baby sitting.

Yep in la starting pay is 54k, with median being 75k. It's not much, but they'll eat and wont be poor. There's a whole lot of other harder jobs that pay less. And don't have nearly have the same amount of time off.

Teachers have like 4 months off when you consider holidays and summer.

And they still make a livable wage.

Credentialing requirements are so extensive that you're basically required to have a masters degree in many states.

The problem is that we treat teachers like shyt, so you get teachers who are there just to do jack shyt. And the ones who go above the call of duty really are fukking heroes.

Yeah the debt load considering the job isn't relatively crazy. I'm not sure why that keeps coming up. My friends who are teachers often complain about their low and predictable ceiling in terms of income. But that is the trade off you make for choosing a profession with a relatively low barrier to entry, stable and predictable hours, and above average benefits on the back end.

Teaching does not pay & most teachers are trash

Absolutely not true, Americans' views on teachers is bizarre.
