That’s a good point. But it also means we could do an h1b visa program for teachers and really clean up by scooping up all the best teachers from around the world.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoWhy would they come here to make shit-tier teacher pay? They'd have to completely uproot their lives, live in systems / cultures / languages drastically different from their normal, and in exchange get painfully median or sub-par pay? If I'm gonna schlep my ass to another country it had better be for a stark improvement in pay, bennies, and lifestyle -- not corralling brats so they can figure out what a Sin, Cos, and Tan means.
- prepend 4y agoBecause they’d make significantly more than they could in their home country. (The same reason programmers and nurses do it). The goal isn’t to convince you, but to convince the many others who would make 2-4x from in their home country (see the chart I referenced). And pay isn’t shit tier in the US even as it’s above the median salary. It’s not the highest paying, but it pays more than most jobs in the US.
