[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to FCPS- English,
Optional! [/quote]

I can safely assume you do not have kids in College. Lots of professors, PhDs, have very thick accents.

Yes, I know it is different, but what do you expect when the county pays $15hr?  A babysitter charges more![/quote]

College professors are completely different category. Those are educated people that speak great English with an accent. They very likely studied in US or did research in English. We’re talking about people limited English in K-12, where kids are learning the basics and need clear instructions.[/quote]

DP.  I agree with you, except that many foreign-born college profs do not "speak great English".  There are plenty of forums where students discuss various professors and having a thick, unintelligible accent is one of the biggest issues.  [/quote]

But again, college is completely different. Those are young adults with critical thinking skills and they have access to books and other online resources. Not like a 5th grader that relies on classroom instructions because that is the only information he’s getting. The lack of textbooks in schools is just unbelievable. Schoology with all its “resources” is pure garbage. I know it is off topic, but I just can’t stand this. FCPS is knee deep in issues nobody wants them to be (bathrooms and lawsuits against the government, what?) instead of focusing on what they are being paid for.

Regardless, FCPS, please stop clearing all these people to be substitutes. You’re not helping the system. People will be fed up with the fact they cannot get a decent assignment and will leave as soon as something better opens up. Just wait 6 months and you will see the mass exodus.[/quote]
