I agree. It's not fair to your students to go into a classroom unqualified and unprepared (even though some schools will still hire you), and it's not fair to those of us who take this job seriously to just expect to get a job without investing some effort into learning how to do it. Makes the profession look bad!

BUt I was thinking more along the line that having a choice between hiring a teacher with zero experience and one with immigrants, I'd choose the immigrant teacher


Me too. But it's not the situation that comes up most in my neck of the woods- More often it's between a teacher with a real cert (including practice teaching) and one without, and the choice is fairly obvious.


Best,
