    The company I work for Apple International Educators (AIE),is one company's
    mission to help schools in America who are facing unprecedented teacher
    shortages in such subjects as math, science, Language Arts, Early Childhood
    Education, and Special Education, by suppling international teachers. One
    problem, that is some school districts feel that these teachers are threats to
    the teaching organization as a whole, and that these people will take jobs that
    Americans should have. Our teachers come with the highest of recommendations.
    Next, when we speak of where do students rank in the global world who are taught
    by such teachers,they rank some where in the middle compared to next to last
    where our students are when it comes to math and science. Thank about it in 2008
    there will be approximately three million teachers short the coming school year.
    We would love to come to AZ help, you may contact me at jalee_2213@yahoo.com.
