Idiocy
|
I am an adjunct professor of Spanish, bilingual, having lived in Xalapa, Puebla, Queretaro and Cali, Colombia. I have 30 years teaching experience, and am a flawless grammarian and editor of textbooks used throughout the States. I am published in Spanish
and English, and sought out for consulting on these matters. And yet this outfit assigns some college kid the task of designing an assessment quiz for tutors containing no accents or other diacritical marks in Spanish, approaching it at a elementary school
level. It includes a multiple choice question about preterite and imperfect (in English, of course, since a test IN Spanish is probably beyond their expertise); not ONE of the choices is anywhere near suggestive of the use of these tenses, and no native speaker
would have a CLUE about what the test is talking about. So Tried and True hires nice kids who know little, but can't hire a published scholar and professor in the subject. Great. I hope you all do well with these pretenders.
