Is USA Today Worthwhile?

I often read USA Today. One reason is that sometimes they break stories you don't see anywhere else.

Today is an example.

They report that 300 Filipino teachers were recruited to Louisiana to fill hard to fill positions in math, language, and special ed. These teachers followed the same route as other migrants, being recruited by intermediary agencies that collect large up front fees from the teachers, finders fees from the school districts, and by holding these teachers' H-1B or J-1 visas extract additional funds from the teachers. The teachers are held in virtual servitude to the recruiter, crammed together in high priced housing of poor quality. Teachers knowingly paid up front recruitment fees of $10,000 to $16,000 for the opportunity to come for these jobs, but had no idea they would be subject to continuing fees once they arrived: $1000 marketing fee, $595 evaluation and transcript fee, $3920 processing fee, ripoff slum housing, etc, etc. They were given two choices, move forward with these fees in the US on the prospect of getting a teaching job, or returning to Philipines with a huge debt. AFT (teachers' union) has sparked an investigation including the recruiters, and whether the participating school districts did or should have known the score.

You can get more information on a blog started by some of the teachers:
