hehehe.. i am not so sure here, a lot of refugees from the eastern europe make it hard for teachers to understand their pupils.
eg here in switzerland in urban low-grade schools 2/3 of each class is yugoslawian/albanian/turkish/... origin. We have BIG problems to adapt these kids to the german language. and to remind you, we have 4 official languages here german/french/italian/retoroman and the question here is if it is more important to know at least a second language spoken here or the english language.
