re: #92 Soap_Man

Well, I think the ideal situation would be that the teacher would be a native speaker of the language they are teaching. Therefore, they wouldn’t have an accent. (Teachers teaching English to Spanish-speaking students should be native English speakers, teachers teaching French to English-speaking students should be native French speakers.)

But, again, this is the ideal situation IMO. This law seems like it will be cumbersome for many public school districts. They don’t have the money to always have the “ideal situation.”

I agree that finding enough native French speakers to teach French to English-speaking kids in AZ might be hard. But are you seriously going to maintain that there’s not enough native English speakers fluent in Spanish to teach English to Spanish-speaking kids?

Cut me a break.
