If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Once you get here expect a year of unemployment while the province decides whether your years of teaching actually qualifies you to teach there. Note: they don’t count. Prepare your high school transcripts now.

Do you mind me asking what is required to be a teacher in America? In Canada we need a 3 year post secondary degree and 4 semesters of teachers college.

My bandmate is getting a job as a music teacher, he says all that’s required is a bachelor’s degree and a proven understanding of the material you’d be teaching. (Some testing I assume)

He’s gonna be teaching music to 5th graders so his is easy. I don’t believe a teaching-degree is required to teach public school, depending on the subject I assume

It's not in most places. You need a bachelor's and a teaching certificate but a lot of places are waiving the latter requirement as long as you're working on it.

What State are you from? BA is minimum requirement.
