re: #105 SanFranciscoZionist
Also, I assume that many of the teachers in question are bilingual Spanish/English speakers teaching same. It’s not like the kids are gonna come out speaking English with Laotian accents.
I’ve worked with some fabulous teachers who didn’t speak with an American-born accent. Phasing them out makes no real sense.
Unless they’re teaching basic English to non-English speakers. Again, if I were paying to learn Laotian, I would demand my money back if I found out the teacher spoke it with a Brooklyn accent.
