re: #530 Obdicut

If they don’t define what a faint accent vs a strong accent is, then that is absolutely without merit.

And they don’t define that.

So my point stands.

it is not about a faint accent. whether you feel such a thing can be done with consistency is a different point.

we hire people on the basis of how we judge their ability to do a job all the time. my believing that this bill is the wrong way to go about this topic is unrelated to my belief that at some point, people ought to be making judgments about whether a person is fit to teach english.

how thick their accent is will play a part in that judgment. don’t substitute poor analysis for good judgment…
