Do they understand the American public school system?

Will they be fired for speaking Spanish during school hours?

going to make teachers from blue states do? I guess they don't have to worry about those hordes of blue state teachers coming to corrupt their children that they were expecting.

I literally laughed out loud at this. It's hilarious.

No dogma, no payola.

Emergency teacher certification: https://www.ossba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/SB-1115-Emergency-Teacher-Certification-Guidance-1.pdf

This is the HS but presumably the local middle and elementary schools are similar.

It might be that spanish language skills in teachers were what led them to recruit from Mexico.

It's so slick when you have a golf cheat and pedo bestie as your leader,

I can’t even.

Then, they get a teacher shortage.

Then, they bring in teachers from Mexico, who ARE NOT certified. (Teachers in Mexico have a totally different education tract than the US. My daughter's ex-bf mother was certified teacher in Mexico. She could only work as a teacher's aide here) In Mexico, their secondary education ends at grade 10 and then she went to college. So, it was mismatched and not worth the effort to become certified here.

Of course, they will pay them less than American teachers

There may even be language/accent issues between the students and teachers. Parents may not like it either. But i guess it depends on the district.


Then, ICE may show up.

The Trump regime is deporting Mexicans left and right and now Oklahoma of all places brings in Mexican teachers to fill a teacher vacuum?

Makes no sense.

I'm honestly surprised any Mexican citizen would be willing to come here after all the bigotry and abuse.

teach the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America?

Are they CERTIFIED?
Do they speak good, unaccented ENGLISH?
Who is paying their salaries?
And most importantly,
ARE THEY LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ICE COMES CALLING?

It's hard to get a US certificate if you haven't completed HS. They would need to get a GED, then go back to college and take classes. Would not be worth it.

They will get something called an "emergency certificate". My husband had one for awhile.

Accents could be an issue. They would be bilingual. How will parents react? However. It depends on the community (Indian Reservations would probably be more accepting than some redneck white area)

They will pay them less than US teachers. That's they whole thing.

I'm pretty sure they will get work visas.

ICE is unpredictable.

but maybe teachers in Oklahoma don't belong to unions?

Texas has mandated salaries, but no unions.

However, uncertified or "emergency certificates" will earn less than certified teacher.

They would be issued emergency certificate.

Basically, the are like union scabs because the state can pay them less than certified teachers.

is a "right to slave" state, therefore no union. Therefore they cannot be scabs.

They hurt legitimate teachers. Obviously teacher strikes are illegal in OK. They do have "unions" which act as lobbyists to assure minimum salaries and benefits. "Emergency certificates" will work for less pay and certified teachers will sit without jobs.

What is going to happen when those kids start loving and respecting their Mexican teachers? Maybe they’ll develop some empathy their parents lack…

Some of the funding comes from the Walton Family Foundation which isn’t arbitrarily left or right.

Still, following the money is critical. Also, seeing if the teachers from outside the U.S. are subject to the idiocy of the whackjob who is president of the state board.

I have delivered Professional Development classes in Oklahoma several times over the last few years. I've found many districts that use teachers from the Philippines to fill shortages.

But as a twenty years teacher. Why would anyone go to Oklahoma to teach unless they were desperate.
Underfunded.
Underpaid.
Fascists running the government.

Would putting up Isaiah 10:1-2 fulfill the law or get you fired. "Woe to those who make unjust laws, th those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

The hypocrisy of red states as always, repulses me.

to replace US RNs.

Philippine nurses were trained at US bases and they knew very well the value of a dollar so their little scheme did not work.

We got a lot of tremendous nurses and they did not bring our wages down.

Irony is dead

Maybe someone should call ICE to check on that.

Academically, the certification process in Mexico doesn't line up with US certification.

So, they would come in as uncertified teachers and be issued "emergency certifications", which are used in shortages.

They are paid less than certified teachers.

The ad hoc "policies" that they put in place to "own the libs" is the type of red meat crap that they feed to their base while doing something that is the opposite - "behind the scenes".

So that they can ultimately pay Herr Steven Goebbel's detain/deportation numbers?

Who in the world would want to be a low-paid teacher who has to avoid "woke" words such as slavery or evolution in the classroom?

Pay teachers more and stop micro-managing what they teach.

Oklahoma doesn't want great teachers. Their students ask uncomfortable questions.

That's how all the agricultural, construction, and meat processing workers came here. There was a shortage and now there is one again

She ended up getting married, moving to Canada and has never looked back.

This is what happens when the ultra nut job religious kooks take over.

my district has several teachers from there. My school has 2 in our math department (out of 7), 3 in our science department (out of 5), 1 in our English department (out of 6). The Philippines is an English speaking country so these teachers are clear English speakers. But the education systems are rather different so there is a learning curve for them.
