Anonymous wrote:It happens in schools. I know how some teachers befriend parents and start gossiping about which teachers to avoid in upcoming grades. Years ago, in a public French immersion school, one of the teachers, not French but a Romanian Israeli, was cold calling parents and telling them to avoid certain teachers because of their “ thick Arab accent” even though the teachers came from French speaking countries. Though completely certified, the non tenured one had to retake the county French proficiency test. The others brought attestations from the director of the Alliance Française that their accent was similar to a French regional accent. In fact, one of them was an Alliance Française instructor.
And I bet there was not consequence at all for the Israeli teacher trying to tank the Arab teacher’s career. Unsurprising.
