Foreign Teaching Assistants:Booo!

Have any of you ever had foreign students whom you couldn't understand as your teaching assistants in class?

My 2 daughters at Valdosta each have one and they're worried. I can understand--at Auburn, I had a Taiwanese TA for Organic lab and an Iraqi for calculus. I had to drop calculus until the next semester to get someone I could understand and as for orgainc lab..we had a lot of explosions we shouldn't have because we didn't understand the guy!

I hear that Auburn has gone to requiring the Spoken TOEFL test to weed out foreign students with heavy accents as teachers. Many schools haven't. They need to! What do you think?
