just like to know what you would do to people like me
I never grade someone down for the way they speak. I've had quite a few foreign exchange students in speech class and they do very well. Sure, I'd love to be able to help everyone have perfect diction, but there is only so much that a teacher can cover in an 18 week course. I just hope that my students gain some confidence in public speaking and that they understand how to organize a speech.

And no, I don't leave anyone "rotten and forgotten in the corner." I pester them at least once or twice a day
