[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 465341, member: 1233"] You have EVERY right to know what this teacher scored on her TOEFL (test of english as a foreign language). In my state every teacher/grad assistant/instructor/professor must take and have a certain score on teh TOEFL before they can enter a classroom. Several times husband has been tapped last minute because a grad student was to teach a class and they discovered that teh TOEFL scores were too low or were faked. Students from certain countries seem to often get others to take their tests so the score is high enough, but when they cannot pass a basic conversation with the profs here it is easy to spot. Then they have to scramble to find someone to teach the class. It has also happened at our public schools, though husband only teaches at the university. Ask the principal to show you her TOEFL scores if you can't understand her. If she hasn't taken it, ask why they hired her when she clearly cannot communicate in a basic conversation in English.
