First I don't know what school district that is but, maybe there is a shortage of teachers there so they are just hiring people of the street. Write a letter to your principal or superintendant.

From what I understand it's because they take education very seriously over there.  I heard that once that some children study for hours at a time.  They spend most of their adolescence studying to get into a university.

School districts set their own calendars. You would have to ask the school board for the district that question. Here, usually the kids are out that day, but the teachers have to work.

Unfortunately, most people seem to think that the only jobs teachers can transfer their skills into are retail, waitstaff or some other menial job that most teenagers could get.  The fact is teachers are educated professionals who can transfer their skill sets into many other positions.  Also, teachers usually have the strength of mind to return to school for whatever supplementary training they need to pursue their desired career.  \n\nDon't listen to the people who think you're a teacher so you must be no better than a high school senior.

I think you should try to talk with some women I.T. techs that work for any school district in any county

Well, I NEVER heard of anyone who entered the teaching profession to make a good salary. If that is your motivation, forget it. Teachers are overworked and underpaid. They are expected to teach their subject while they handle discipline problems, and to be amateur psychologists, social workers, and substitute parents while they do endless paper work and attend one inconsequential meeting after another AFTER their school day which has been interrupted by school wide announcement over the intercom, senseless assemblies, students moving in and out of the classroom for all kinds of other "services. The endless paper work and meetings usually have Little to do with their teaching. A teacher's fondest wish is that s/he be given uninterrupted time to teach.\n\nNow if you can handle that nightmare, and love kids and your subject, then teach. There are several books I would recommend you read: HORACE'S COMPROMISE, THE SHOPPING MALL HIGH SCHOOL, AND UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE. All three will offer excellent insights into teaching.

Oh, but it is. Just not generally in this country. Go to any Western block European country and watch the teachers & professors are teaching out of doors, having interesting & lively conversations with their students in pubs, sitting on the campus lawns when school is out & having discussions, encouraging their pupils & enjoying their successes. Teachers here, as a rule, are competitive and arrogant. They don't truly love teaching or their students. Of course the school systems here are more difficult for them.

I work in a high school and I feel the same way.  It's not the teacher's who aren't doing their jobs, its the officials who set the eduational guidelines.  Often the faculty talks about how if children are not taught about the real world at home, they will not learn it in the classroom.  Educators are required by law to teach certain curriculum.  That curriculum is etched in stone by our government system who are too busy trying to compete with the education systems of other countries than worrying about their own.\nThe problem is in politics.  Politicians set laws to benefit the upper class citizens whose children will go on to get their Master's degrees and work is a high rise office building.  It is not made for the other 80% of the U.S. population who are forced to make ends meet the best way they know how.\nTake the matter up with the Senate, and while you're at it how about better wages and benefits for the people who educate the next generation?\n\n:)

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!

I would say because people do not realize the full extent of how important teachers are, because without them who are you to say you would be who you are today.  I would say that the world is too caught up on celebrities and sports and things like that, that make so much more money it is ridiculous.  So I would have to say that people do not realize the importance of teachers and the amount of money they get paid, when the reward (their students) is priceless.

Part of the reason is, pardon me for saying this, the Texas education system sucks. I can say this because I have had students who came out of Texas who don't know any history or science, and only a little math. I have had a student or two whose family moved to Texas to follow a job offer, only to return to us in a couple of month, gladly taking the pay cut, so that their child could have a decent education. It isn't the teachers, but the policies, curriculum, and over-emphasis on the testing process.\n\nIn New Mexico, we have plenty of jobs available. She may need to do an extra test or two, and take New Mexico history, to get certified here, but she is certainly welcome. Browse the districts and see what's available...\nhttp://www.ped.state.nm.us/districts/index.html\nHere's the requirements and licensure structure:\nhttp://www.teachnm.org/\n\nWhen interviewing, remember that it is the "politically correct" answer, not the "textbook" one, that is best. What "buzzwords" are currently in vogue in the district and/or state? What curriculum and instructional styles are encouraged by that district and/or that school? Find out those buzzwords, too (e.g. Balanced Literacy = guided reading, shared writing, etc.).\n\nGood luck!

Perhaps a given school, but generally there is a special school where they send all the **** ups that can't keep it together in the regular school (at least, that's the case in a large district).

Very competitive, there are a lot of teachers moving there from oregon and other states because Washington pays better.

Many states have signed the "Interstate Contract" which was created "in order to make it easier and more efficient for licensed educators from one state to become credentialed to work in another state where they move and establish residence. Forty-four states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico have currently signed the Interstate Contract for teacher certification."\n\nCheck out this page for more info and then check out the links on the left of that page for a whole lot more info:\nhttp://www.teach-now.org/frmReciprocityAndAcceptance.asp

a lot of school districts now have websites that include a list of the teachers, including their email addresses.  try googling for the school or district you are interested in
