Bending the rules
« on: February 22, 2007, 04:00:59 pm »
I copied this from an advert on ajarn.com, any idea what they are suggesting?

"We will also be able to give you advice about Teaching licences that are available from the U.K for prospective Teachers who don't have Degree status."

Are they saying that Thai teaching licences can be got a hold of in the UK without the need for the required qualifications, surely not!  ???

The whole ad can be viewed here, http://www.teflasia.com/ajarn/browse_jobs/Thailand/84788.html

The state of Nevada in the US will give substitute teacher certification for anyone with 2 years of university and a couple of classes in education.

Well, that certainly explains things about Nevada.

Yo, when I first hit classrooms doing TEFL, I had only 92 semester hours from university. I would have been S.O.L. if I hadn't got a substitute teaching certificate before I hit the road. It sure gave me extra pull when I applied for jobs. I just stuck my years of attendance at the university and a copy of my teaching certificate and no one ever questioned my qualifications, ever.

To boot, I get susbsitute pay whenever I go home.

In Alabama, all ya need is a TB test and a high school diploma.

Alabama?  Is that adjacent to the Federal Republic of Georgia?  They didn't teach Alababaman language, back in the state schools in Aberdeen.  My Yank mate says that now he can make money if he has to go back home.

 ^^^^ hey now, I've heard passing that TB test is tougher than passing some of the TEFL courses offered here.
