From the Paper:

"Certification also acts as an obstacle. According to Ms. Charlotte Willis (personal communication June 2, 2005), she felt that luck was not in her favor in terms of securing a teaching job because she lacks the necessary teacher certification. She applied for a teaching position at Wake County public school system but was turned down because of lack of certification. One of the most controversial issue school districts generally may encounter is recruiting foreign teachers. Teachers and Parent Teachers Associations (PTA) frequently not only fight proposals that calls for recruitment of foreign teachers but may engage in activities that may spark community opposition. "
