I understand the difficulty coming to the United States to go to school and struggling with the language barrior, but they chose to do so and the choice is the difference. What about students taking classes from TA's that don't speak English, can't communicate with the students they are teaching and don't make the effort to even know what they are teaching. Case in point, a student is taking a 300 level sewing class, the TA, not only doesn't speak English, she doesn't know how to sew, what is happening to the quality of education when your "educator" can't teach what you are paying to learn! Do you have a choice now? If you can't speak the English then don't teach at an English speaking school. And by all means, at least be able to teach what you are getting credit for as an educator. Who's watching over these programs when this happens?
