You have a good point. I have been involved with many international families who are in the USA for a year or to to get advanced education up to the Post PhD level. When a foreign mom walks into a classroom wearing the cloths of her home land and struggling with language, the attitude of the American teacher can be very demeaning (ie treating them as an uninformed, oppressed, representative of the female population of the world). In some cases, the affluence of the mom represents a multicultural and multilingual background with academic skills that far out weigh the teachers. This teacher may be ineffective at turning kids on to learning but often is effective at convincing them that their parents are backward and out of it.
