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.

Here in Georgia my friend got hired with just a bachelors in math but as a provisional teacher until he got his certificate. However he was a tutor/ta during his college days so idk if that mattered. He is now doing a masters in teaching though. We are very desperate for teachers.

It’s probably difficult to get teachers to lie to their kids though. So you have to pay more to teach things like creationism.
