Have you noticed in the hospitals how many of the nurses come from other countries? Now foreigners are being hired as teachers in the Bay Area–as enrollment seriously declines. The main reason is that it is extremely expensive to live in the Bay Area, so teachers, cops, firefighters and others can not afford to work in the region.
“To combat teacher shortages, some Bay Area school districts are relying on the recruitment of teachers around the globe, the Mercury News reported. And a vast amount are coming from the Philippines.
There are 15 new Filipino educators working at the Jefferson Union High School District. San Jose Unified has 34 teachers from the Philippines and at the San Mateo-Foster City School District, another 15 Filipino educators and 25 teacher’s aides have recently started.”
Wonder if these teachers are willing to pay bribes to unions in order to work?

To combat teacher shortages, some Bay Area school districts are relying on the recruitment of teachers around the globe, the Mercury News reported. And a vast amount are coming from the Philippines.
There are 15 new Filipino educators working at the Jefferson Union High School District. San Jose Unified has 34 teachers from the Philippines and at the San Mateo-Foster City School District, another 15 Filipino educators and 25 teacher’s aides have recently started.
It’s the result of a Manila-based recruitment fair held last year, according to the Mercury News.
The hardest-to-fill jobs are the ones new Filipino teachers are filling, such as special education, math and science. An increasing number of international teachers are also filling dual-language roles, an opportunity that’s brought native Spanish teachers from Mexico, Spain, and other Latin American countries.
