Every time I brought this up to administration, I was not only ignored, I was personally insulted by the admin--EVERY TIME.
These are the people teaching your kids, America.
After seeing the Katrina anniversary coverage this week, it appears that few children in New Orleans can speak English either. Their dialect was unintelligible. I wonder how teachers could understand those who evacuated to other parts of the US after the storm.
America, is going to have to take it. This is the way things are. Learn Spanish. Buy a good security surveillance system. Make lots of money so you can bribe government officials because this is where we are going to end up. Spare me the talk of civil war or revoltion, it isn’t going to happen. Civil war or revolution should have occured a long time ago. Learn Spanish, the language of your betters.
He got in trouble for asking her to repeat what she was saying because she simply could not speak clearly enough for him to understand.
This is a actually a pretty good school, she was a substitute for a teacher on maternity leave.
And while we're on the subject of public schools and Arizona....
Well, I had a teacher send home a spelling quiz with the message that only 2 of the 10 words were “corrett”.
But to do anything about it? Oh hell no! They are in violation of the law but will they be fired? Oh Hell No!
Will this be allowd to continue DESPITE the conflict with the Supreme Court ruling regarding the 14th Amendmet in which the stupid OBL claims citizenship for anchor babies?
Well of COURSE it will, they are the protect class, ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Any attempt to force that stupid and arrogant bunch to actually obey the law is going to be RACIST, don't ya know.
same thing has happened in Texas with ‘BI-Lingual” teachers. In a study of Houston teachers a few years ago it was found that over 30% couldn’t speak English at all.
I know for a fact that in one school district in San Antonio they used to hide the non-English speaking teachers in the teachers lounge when State education inspection teams came around.
I don’t know how these people get hired, but it’s obvious they are shortchanging the students they ‘teach’.
The problem is that many, if not most, who speak Spanish do not want to learn English and they have a desire to force Spanish on the U.S.
They will never speak English fluently unless it is forced on them.
Oh come on now. I took Statistics from a Panamanian Professor at Florida State and could not understand a word he said from the beginning of the class. This is nothing new. My experience happened in 1987 and I have had friends who had similiar experiences at their universities. I am sure everyone here can give a horror story about this. We might be going a bit overboard here.
It isn’t just spanish. Try grading papers by some of these kids who’s families have been in the US for over 400 years.
The education system in this country is BROKEN. The destruction began when the government got involved 150 years ago and has continued unabated to this day. The result is, kids who are stupid and proud of it, demand respect they have not earned, disrupt the classroom KNOWING there is nothing you can do about it, can’t write their own names (and these are SENIORS), cannot do math and have absolutely NO knowledge of history that doesn’t include misinformation about slavery and civil rights, America’s “oppressive past” and the plight of the “native” Americans.
There are teachers out there who actually care about this, but are branded as “troublemakers”. Others gave up a long time ago and many, MANY, younger ones who are “education majors” and not much more academically advanced than the kids.
Public education is a mess. An out-of-control MESS; an administratively top-heavy tax money “black hole”. I always laugh when someone complains about “interest groups” and “lobbyists” “running the country”. I always ask them if they know which one is one of the biggest and most powerful lobby groups in the country and then watch the reaction when I tell them it’s the NEA.

“who” is used when it’s the subject of the verb, “whom” is used when it’s the object of the verb.
Meanwhile, Mesa School District claims that their drop in attendance has nothing to do with competition from charter schools (where I am betting the teachers apeak English).
**An official state inspection of Arizona public schools reveals that many students are being taught English by Spanish-speaking teachers whose command of English is so poor that the officials can barely understand them. **
Huh? This doesn’t make sense to me.
