My daughter is a teacher.
She is currently teaching at a charter school. She has had many interviews with public school systems within a 250 mile radius, but has never been hired.
Mysteriously those jobs always end up going to some relative of a school board member.
The H1B teachers I have heard of were teaching in inner-city Baltimore or Detroit combat zones where likely you could not get anyone local to take the job.
A good friend of mine learned all too well about teaching gigs and nepotism.
I forget the details after so long but the local politics in that town upset quite a few locals.
Teaching jobs are quite coveted in my suburban neck of the woods here in NE FL. I know one guy who commutes from my neighborhood to the inner city to teach.
Governor DeSantis was on the radio today proposing a new starting teacher salary of $47k state wide. Not bad.
