Albany, NY is not a terribly diverse community, and thus I have not frequently been faced with students for whom English is a second language. I was shocked by a recent student request to reduce their point deductions on a term paper (resulting from excessive spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors) because the individual claimed English was her second language. Have those of you who teach at institutions with a more diverse student body received such requests?
