I find this particularly interesting because my wife is filipino, and her family moved to the states due to her mom being imported for nursing work in the 80's and myself being an ex baltimore city school teacher. The idea seems good / short sited. The phillipines is a perfectly place to outsource to / import from because they have a highly education englisg proficient population to pull from, and an eagerness to move up and out. As far as culture, its not that much of a stretch asside from the old joke about pinoy time and such... but the short sitedness comes from not fixing the root problem... which is quality of life. When I was teaching in the city I never fealt like quiting because of the kids, I fealt like quiting because of the system and the realities of the system... uncontrolables and the such... on a personal positive note... this will bring alot more filipinos to baltimore and me more excuse to con my wifes family into opening a filipino resturaunt... also if your wife is becoming a teacher and still wanting to teach in the city, but fears the "system" maybe she should look into one of the charter schools opening in the fall like city neighbors or paterson park elementary... im involved in the later if she wants any info... in short good post interesting well research read that is easily harder hitting then the sun article.

on a personal positive note… this will bring alot more filipinos to baltimore and me more excuse to con my wifes family into opening a filipino resturaunt…

also if your wife is becoming a teacher and still wanting to teach in the city, but fears the “system” maybe she should look into one of the charter schools opening in the fall like city neighbors or paterson park elementary… im involved in the later if she wants any info…

in short good post
