re: #66 Aceofwhat?

i’m going to catch hell for playing devil’s advocate here (heh), but it appears that the item is indeed related to elocution. see the part about kids who don’t already speak native english.

so there’s that.

Well, good luck to Arizona in finding bilingual teachers that speak without an accent. A good number of them are native speakers of Spanish. Otherwise, they’re now going to limit themselves to non-accented English speakers. ESL requires that they’re fluent in two or more languages for the most part.
