If you don't like what we're paying, we'll bring in a foreigner.

I kind of feel sorry for the teachers. Being new to the onshoring phenomenon. But in this case, there is a serious charge of human trafficking.

I guess what really shocking is that teachers of foreign countries making as little as teachers make, can show up at a school with NO CHARGE to the school district. Who'dya think is paying??

Now apparently, we cannot even teach our own kids.

1. Are these teachers licensed? How good is their English?
I have heard a lot of complaints about college professors and graduate assistants from foreign countries who can hardly speak English. This should be illegal. We have the best universities in so far as the preparation of teachers is concerned. And if your kids aren't learning, it's your fault. Mine attended inner city schools, got into excellent universities and have or are getting professional degrees. Don't blame your kids' teachers. Blame yourselves.

If your children are not doing well in school, ask yourself:

1) How often did you read to them when they were very small and until they got into kindergarten or first grade and could read for themselves?

2) How often did you play counting games with them?

3) How often did you play memory games with them?

4) How often did you SIT WITH THEM WHILE THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK IN THE FIRST GRADE?

5) How often did you help them write letters?

6) How often did you put their art work up on your walls?

7) How often did you take them to museums and historical sites?

8) How often do you talk about news stories with them?

9) How often did you listen to them read when they were learning to read?

10) How often did you go with them to look a new word up in the dictionary and practice using the word in creative sentences after you looked it up?

11) How often did you assign them extra work beyond their homework?

If you did all of these things and did them often, your children will do their best in school. If you did not regularly do these things, you have no one but yourself to blame if they don't do well in school.
