I'm watching his jobs presidential address to congress right now, and he said he wants to stop teachers leaving the country to go to "South Korea" to teach; he wants to create more teaching jobs, and keep them in the classroom in America.

Sounds like it would be people who have a teaching certificate he was talking about...not just anyone with a degree in anything. . |
Bingo.
He was talking about qualified teachers who cannot find teaching positions and move abroad. The often called "brain drain".
There is a similar issue in Canada with doctors moving to the US due to higher income ceiling. |

You guy are overthinking it. I highly doubt his speechwriters put too much thought in the "type" of teacher going to South Korea. |

Oh I agree, he was not thinking of Americans who go teach in Korea specifically but of qualified workers who are unable to find work in the US and who need to go abroad. |

Unemployment Insurance isn't just a handout. It's insurance. Part of the premium comes out of your paycheck and your employer pays the other part. If you are laid off, your employer has to pay more...until you find a job or no longer qualify for benefits. You don't qualify for benefits if you do not look for a job.
Spending tax dollars on drug tests for people on unemployment is a waste of money. A better idea would be to do a better job of checking up on people to make sure that they are actually looking for employment. |

| I listened to the whole speech. He doesn't mention teaching English in Korea at all. Kenny, clean out your ears. Bogus thread. |
I'd take your word over the OP's everytime. Reading his other posts, I get the sense that he's not exactly among America's best and brightest. |
