  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!)
Mr. Martinez is a fully qualified teacher, with a masters degree. I think that the parent's in question should have a meeting with administration or sit in on a class so they can get an understanding about how he teaches his class. I think that they may change their opinion about him.
