It’s a sad case for many too. I also can’t imagine how some of the children over here were even trying to correct their teacher’s grammars. LOL!

Interesting take on the them, Julie.

Happy weekend!

Teach you focused on a timely issue here on photo hunt. Good question – who is going to teach our kids.

Last year when I was in hospital after a serious injury to my leg I was so grateful for the care lavished on me by several filipino and filipina nurses. If it weren’t for overseas workers the health service in Britain would fall apart.

The downside is that the countries that train these professionals do not get the benefit of their skills. A thought provoking take on this week’s theme

Julie,
Great Question, and good reason to homeschool.

Actually really good, thought provoking

Jane

Is is easy to homeschool kids? We plan to homeschool our son….Happy hunting…

There’s a lot of Filipino workers here in Singapore. Can’t be help since there’s no job for the Filipinos in their country that they have to go overseas.

Very interesting thoughts…
Mine’s up, too.

Interesting question and good take on the theme. Happy weekend.

I tried the home schooling thing with my kids. It didn’t go well. Seems they believe their teachers in school faster than they will take my word for it, even when I can point to the text book in front of us.

Again this is one of those themes that can easily take so many directions. I’d have never thought of that. Very interesting and perfect for the theme.

Thanks for dropping by my blog and I hope I see you again soon.

and. one of my Korean friends who lives on Jeju Island, Korea, hires American native speakers to work in his private English school. If you look up Dave’s ESL Cafe…you would be astonished at how many Americans are overseas teaching! Your photos are great. I like the focus!

The particularly sad thing is when qualified professionals go and take jobs overseas for which they are super over-qualified because they pay much better than what would be the case for more difficult jobs in their homelands… :S

if only our government will offer our teacher with competitive salaries and benefits na deserve naman talaga nila di ba? kaso grabe kung pagdamutan ang mga teachers. masyadong inaabuso at kinawawa ng gobyerno!

totoo yan, kung minsan nga walang sweldo like my younger bro who teaches at a Community college, since january wala sila sweldo, that is inhumane

a thought provoking take on the theme. two thumbs up. im currently living in Phnom Penh (though i work from home) and i have met a lot of overseas workers here particularly teachers and though its more difficult for them to live and work in a foreign place, they had to make sacrifices because of the lack of opportunities in our country.

sad. how i wish something could be done. aside from the fact that we are now experiencing ‘brain drain’, the family left behind suffers also..

[...] true to almost a thousand Filipino teachers who are now out of job. I could have been one of them because I was interviewed by the recruitment [...]
