It is very obvious that I was the only one who really needed this blog. Anyway I want to write and I am going to do so no matter what. Here I am thinking about something. "School is the only way you are going to make yourself become what you want".Those were my parents words every single day.I used to believe that but not anymore.
Look at me I went to school my all life long.Funny part I never did miss school even when I was sick.School was the love of my life.First I thought I wanted to be a teacher . After a while I thought I will become a translator . Finally I had a crash on law and international relations .God only knows how many nights I spent awake trying to memorized my constitution, international treaties ,criminal procedures...
I did all that to avoid doing bad jobs. I mean vulnerable jobs. You do not know when they can fire you. Even if they fire you , you can not find another one so easily.That part of going to school is so crual for me . Just because I can find the right person to send me my trancripts from Africa , does not mean I have to suffer.It is just so frustrating to have to do the right thing but do not benefit from it . I did what I was supposed to do but now I am not feeling secure.
I think states should organize their policies in order to adapt the education to others countries standards. I feel sometimes like nobody ; which is not true , because I sacrified my life to school and I did a good job by having my master degree in public law.
I think sometimes about that I will be done with the first two years of my PhD if I was still in Africa. It is not good to complain to much. May be I would not have enough money to finish . For people like me , Africa only needs money.

I understand your frustration, and I agree that the United States should align its education system with the rest of the world. More than that, however, I believe we should all align our educations systems. I encountered the same problems that you are encountering when I was living in England. I had years of teaching experience and a Master's Degree, but that didn't mean anything to anyone in England. I was not allowed to teach. I hated it. I wanted to teach so badly, but my years of experience were not a valid qualification, while those in Australia that studied teaching for six weeks were able to jump right into teaching jobs. It made me crazy. I'm not sure how to remedy the problem, but I'm sure that something needs to be done. Good thoughts!
Hello!I am a teacher too but my education isn't from USA. I thought that to be a teacher here I need only to improve my English but it sounds I was wrong and my diploma doesn't mean here nothing...So what I can do? To beging my life again?
