Teachers with accents scrutinized
Arizona officials want immigrant teachers with heavy accents removed from classes for students still learning English. They say they are following federal guidelines. But critics tell CNN's "American Morning" it's an ethnic witch hunt.
This made me think of a few folks with heavy hard to understand accents I've known over the years-- and if passed in Montana
(since MT requires 12 years of English) would mean no teaching jobs for many migrating in from Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, New Jersey, Brooklyn, or several other parts of the country- besides many instructors from Europe ... :wink: :lol: :lol:
College Preparatory
The Montana University System requires that you complete the following college prepatory requirements:
four years of English;
three years of math, including Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II—you are encouraged to take a math class your senior year of high school;
three years of social studies, including one year of global studies, one year of American history and one year of government or another third-year course (i.e., economics, psychology, sociology);
two years of laboratory science. One must be earth science, biology, chemistry or physics—the second year may be one of those sciences or another approved college preparatory laboratory science course;
two years chosen from the following: foreign language (preferably two years), computer science, visual and performing arts, or vocational education.
HUMMMMM does not take 12 yrs of english to get into Montana's Colleges.
