re: #77 JasonA

Our public schools aren’t exactly overflowing with options. Is it unreasonably to think that the most efficient Spanish-English teachers are going to have accents?

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.”
