Help wanted by a teacher moving to France

Someone called Kerry has just left a comment on this posting, thus:

Please Help! I have been teaching primary age children now for 14 years and still love my job! I am now a non class-based Special Educational Needs Coordinator and am BEd [hons] trained. My family and I are giving serious consideration to moving to France but I'm told I will be unable to teach as my degree will mean nothing, what can I do? If we were to go we hope to be fluent in French on departure, we cannot speak French as of yet! Also are there English schools there where I could teach? I would be grateful for any help you could offer . Thank you.

I can't help, but can anyone else? Comments will I'm sure be gratefully received.

Kerry could, of course, try the International School of Paris.. But I find it striking that - if you meet Frenchmen - (as a rule of thumb) those over 40 do not speak English and are not willing to try, but those under 40 manage the language fairly good.
