It amazes me that with so many Spanish speaking students, that the districts have trouble finding bilingual teachers. One would think these districts would somehow coerce teachers from areas such as Los Angeles and other bilingual areas to the Chicago suburbs. I think the district that sent scouts to Spain were on the right track, just the wrong direction. I believe that there are plenty of bilingual teachers throughout our states that border with Mexico. Why not start there prior to wasting money and going abroad? This also opens up a new question: Are we as future teachers needing to become bilingual in order hold a job? Also, what kind of pay increase, if any should we expect if we venture into becoming bilingual?
