Personally I think it may have something to do with her interning in the all white redneck school district that she was interning in and that she would have done much better interning in South Florida where we have a very ethnically mixed culture. She will be coming back this week to live full time back with me again.

Ignorant fuckers!! My son's Spanish teacher is from Morocco. His Spanish and French is flawless but his English is accented. He also speaks Japanese, Mandarin and Farsi. So we hired him privately (and deeply discounted) to teach my RugDawg Mandarin.
I hope she doesn't give up, Cleo. We could really use some good teachers in this country and truthfully English isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Those children are more endangered by that "red state" point of view than by not using the correct verb tense.
