Case: Spanish Speaking Teacher teaching English
Mr. Martinez, Colombian native, was hired to teach English in a school. He is majored and has a master degree in English but his accent is present when speaking. Parents have complained about his accent claiming he shouldn't be teaching English because the language is not his native. Mr. Martinez has had success teaching English in his previous school and students loved his class. Because of parents' comments his new students seemed to be biased about his class. Despite his efforts to make the class engaging, Mr. Martinez doesn't seem to make progress. What should Mr. Martinez or the school's administration to mitigate the comments and change parents and students' behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Keep doing what you're doing. This is a fully qualified teacher. School administration should reassure these parents that this teacher is fully qualified, and should have this teacher's back. Race or ethnicity should play no role in determining who teaches what subjects. It is unfair to these students that their parents are acting like this. |

| Comments: I agree 100% with the statement that race or ethnicity should not play a part into someone position on faculty if they are highly qualified. I am sure this teacher is more qualified than many other teachers considered he mastered in the study of English. |
