What do you hear?

I ran across this article, and thought I needed to share it.  It made me think of growing up, and listening to my my grandmother speak English.  I could understand her, but sometimes my husband, with his untrained ear couldn't. 

How or would this impact the classroom?  In Arizona, Complaints That an Accent Can Hinder a Teacher's Career .  This made me think about accents.  My gut says that it is a non- issue????  I mean what would we do with a student from the Northeast moving to a school in Texas?  What about that accent?
