I decided to try getting a job in the UK and I realize
that the UK is a broad area. I'm giving this a try because
at this time of my life I'm single and have no children
and just graduated out of college. I'm ready for a
challenge and adventure.

I applied through teaching agencies and got a call from
one of them that sends overseas teachers. Unfortunately my
subject area is Secondary English literature and ESL. I
know that I have a better chance if I'm a math or science
teacher.

I'm applying, checking the area out etc...

I have questions for mostly overseas teachers teaching in
the UK.

1. What are the major differences between US and UK
education system?

2. I heard that some of the school districts do not have
an adopted curriculum and teachers are expected to make
their own lesson plans.

3. Why does it seem that British schools are hiring
overseas teachers? For those who are now teaching there,
are there overseas teachers in your schools?

I'll be looking into this into more detail but want to
hear some of your thoughts.
