Foreign teachers in the U.S.



Above is a VOA produced video about Charmaine Teodoro, a Philipina who was hired by a rural Colorado school to teach math. It doesn't have any of the Open Boarder crowd tricks to conflate legal and illegal immigrants to push their agenda. Instead it is a look at a young woman who, via a J-1 visa, landed in a small American town and her experiences as she adjusted to her job.

The J-1 visa program is actually a non-immigrant cultural exchange program. Rural school districts have started using it to fill teacher shortages. Applicants to teach in the U.S. must have teaching experience and appropriate degrees as well as a U.S. sponsor. They can teach for up to 5 years.
