In university many of my teachers were far less comprehensible than a
simple "heavy accent". Now granted in that case they were imported
Elbonians and not the overseas/outsourced kind.
But as long as they gave me the education I required, at a cost I could
afford, to get me marketable skills, why exactly should I care?
If the knowledge I gained is now stale, who's fault is that?
