With their low wages unable to keep up with the rising cost of living, more and more teachers leave the country to get a higher pay teaching in the U.S. American students are so lucky.

Teacher Claire, as she was fondly called in an exclusive grade school, didn't plan on teaching abroad. She just planned on teaching, period. Even when her cousins had derided her course, "Sus, educ lang pala." (Oh, it's just Education she's taking). She did her practicum in a congested public elementary school with both normal and special children "because in public schools, teachers have to do everything by themselves," she explained. She wanted to practice her teaching skills and every work that it entails. Bulatlat
