What the fuck was up with that teacher? The girl missed the first day of the project, so the teacher sits her with a group of students who speak very little English? Who's benefitting from whom?

I've known teachers who are as reactionary as the one cited in the article, and they happen to produce students whose critical thinking abilities are stunted.

You mean you have a tough time understanding "Jerry" from Mumbai?[}:)] I had the same problem with Dell...personal use computers get their C.S. and Tech support from Mumbai, but business computers get both from North America. So I had my business buy my personal home computers from me, problem solved.
