They probably aren't at the University for the primary purpose of teaching.
This is the correct answer. Professors are usually there to do research.

Math classes seem to be the worst. My most memorable experience was differential equations with a Chinese woman who got so exasperated from the class's confusion that she finally just screamed out in broken English "IT YOUR LANGUAGE, NOT MINE. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU NOT UNDERSTAND". I made a D in the class and had to retake.

I did have one teacher at LSU who was Indian (dot not feather), but he spoke perfect English. His only speech quirk was that he liberally peppered his sentences with God Damn, and Piss and Sonofabitch.
I would pay extra to take that guy's class.

The professors hate teaching. They have to do it for tenure purposes. They only want to do research. They make most of the money from funding's on their research. If they had a choice, very few would teach.

Now, that's funny right there.
