Have you considered the possibility that H1B teachers are simply better (at any price point) ?

H1B proceeds go to fund USCIS and its staff, they do not go towards local school districts.

This whole discussion is full of racists and haters who dont know anything about the subject beyond clickbait titles

That sounds sort of racist, actually.

    It is not racist, but it is true. The Education major is one of the bottom majors, Americans with the lowest grades and lowest SAT scores go on to become public school teachers. and it is well known information among Americans themselves.

    https://reports.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/2023-total-group-...

      The average SAT for Education majors: 1023
  It’s ranked 24th, behind Communications (19th), Library Science (13th), and English (11th). The top major: Math.

    while foreigners on H1B are top percentile in academic performance and scoring and generally H1B attract top 1% talent from the global talent pool, especially given there are only like 60k visas issued per year.

    People who look at the stats objectively should be the first ones to advocate for more H1B teachers, if that meant children would get dramatically better education

      Do SAT scores measure anything about pedagogic aptitude? I expect that at best, you get some form of correlation (in which direction?).

      For teachers, other things matter more than reasoning skills or subject matter knowledge, especially in rural or otherwise challenging communities.

"H1B teachers are simply better"

Considering the overwhelming demographics of H1B visas are massively racially different from the US, this is Racism, pure and simple.

This is the undercurrent of H1B immigration: people who harbor racism against the US's predominate demographic doing anything they can to scam the system and enrich themselves no matter the cost to others.
