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!) Mr. Martinez is fully qualified, and the School Administration knows this, so the administration should reassure the parents that Mr. Martinez does know what he is doing and is the right fit for this job. Maybe even showing or teaching a lesson in bias would help the students open up, and him explaining that even though he does have an accent and English is his second Language he does have a masters in English, and has been teaching for a while
