[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like it's similar to au pair cultural exchange programs but for teachers.[/quote]

Only As far as somebody coming from a different country.

An au pair has a fully furnished room with a fully stocked kitchen and all they really need to bring is a suitcase, full of clothing and personal items.

It sounds like these women were only allowed to bring a suitcase with personal items and have nothing else to make a temporary life here.

This is not like an au pair program or even like hiring your average teacher. If the county wants to engage in this kind of program, then they should be providing them with housing with the basic living necessities. They should not need to crowd source for pots and pans.

+1. Au pairs also have their hours capped at 45 per week. Anyone who thinks a new special ed teacher will be able to get the job done in 45 hours per week has never taught special ed. I'm a veteran special ed teacher and almost never work less than 50 hours per week, usually closer to 60.

I would love to know how much these teachers are getting paid and what the agency is pocketing. Are they eligible for health benefits?[/quote]
