And I’m not just talking about immigrants either. Accents are charming and enjoyable to listen to but inability to communicate in a clear concise manner is unacceptable especially when teaching kids. A teacher is supposed to be an example to them.
I saw it start going downhill in the 70’s.

In college we had a Chinese TA and he was impossible to understand. We complained to the professor to no avail, so we just quit going to class. We were still able to pass by using our sorority’s study files ;-)
I guess elementary and high school kids need to go on strike like unions—on “count day” where they determine school enrollment to dole out the bucks.
A bunch of Hispanic kids with Hispanic teachers, when none of them is able to speak English correctly?
This is a huge problem in the border states and probably elsewhere. You cannot believe how many teachers cannot speak English well enough to communicate their subjects taught.
