re: #541 Aceofwhat?

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

This allows for teachers to be fired based on a non-existent, subjective standard of what ‘thick’ is, despite absolutely no research being presented that this is even a problem. I have never seen any research showing that accents are any problem in teaching a language whatsoever, especially in an immersive environment. There is the strong possibility that an accent is actually better, as an intermediary step. Do you know of any research showing that an accent, even a strong one, has negative influences on language learning and adoption?

I am fucking sick and tired of teachers being blamed for problems outside of their scope. I am sick of racists hiding their intentions behind ‘oh, we just want to help the children’. I am sick of a lot of things.
