I'm suspicious...

1. Get to the kids before those dedicated to the public school

system and the unions can.

Part of a multi-pronged attack this administration is conducting on children, our public school system, teachers and unions. All on behalf of vulture capitalist privateers.

Too bad so many learned nothing from the disastrous reagan years. Defund - destroy - privatize. Pure right wing conservative garbage.

2. I took the links - and was eventually led to a map that showed the few vacancies in Florida by zip

It probably would be a good idea if there were a shortage of teachers. In Florida, we have just the opposite problem considering the massive layoffs of the past few years.

What Arne should do is find jobs for those unemployed teachers.

3. but why list the jobs at the national level?

[DrDan]

4. who knows - but it suggest how I could become certified to teach and the vacancies in Florida by zip

The mapping to both was based on a couple of very generic questions - what are my teaching interests, what are my degrees, what state am I interested in.

Voila - here is how you can become a teacher and here is the list of tens of vacancies throughout Florida.

5. which is information you can get by going through the individual states.

so why is arne spending the money to duplicate services?

6. silly...arne does`t think teachers know there is an internet!

yes, there are teachers across the country who have no idea how to apply to schools in distant parts of our land. no wonder our children are falling behind the rest of the world in adding 1+1 and adding ice to water.

i`m in a really good mood today...
