How can they get away with stuff like this?!

[Proculation]

I remember one of my English teacher in high school who, I think, could have not asked his way in NYC.

Talking of that, were your French teachers totally bilingual ?

[Lemmy]

The best teacher I had in highschool was my Calculus and Algebra teacher who was Indian pretty nearly incomprehensible after 20 or more years in Canada. You couldn't understand a word he said unless you really paid attention. Albert Einstein would be hard to understand, but I'd sure take a physics lesson from him.

I had a few that were, Gr. 7,8,10,12. Although Gr. 10 and 12 were the same teacher

Well 1. anti-immigration laws, 2. new restrictions on teaching ethnic studies such as Mexican or African American history, and now 3. weeding out teachers with funny accidents.. o.k.

I found Arizona's new flag...

My best one was for my first too 2 courses of Physics in college. He was spanish, had a very strong accent but he was amazing. Throwing chalk sticks in the class to explain gravity and Newton, yelling in Spanish while writing in big letters "F=MA" on the blackboard.

Teachers who are not fluent in English, who make grammatical errors while speaking or who have heavy accents will be temporarily reassigned.

righfully so. If you want the kids to be taught proper English, you have to set an example. Isn't it a university degree-job? You might expect they speak English, right?

Whoever authored that artcile needs a grammar refresher...unless they want to blame the errors on the individual who typed it. Where's a damned typesetter when ya need one!!!

[PublicAnimalNo9]

If it's English teachers then I can't really say it should be an issue. I had an English teacher in Gr.10 that was from Germany. Her English was atrocious for someone that was supposed to be teaching it.

Most of the students in Arizona are bilingual (English/Spanish).

So as a student, if your English if not at it's best, and you don't understand the question, and your teacher is "English only" I guess you are SOL?

It's just Arizona trying to now push English as the official language of the USA.

Same point with the new immigration laws..

Are you suggesting that USA should accept Spanish as an official second language ?

I agree the second language of the USA should be Punjabi.
