That's what you get when borders are a free for all, when few people speak the official language and when companies hire the lowest bidder.
Fun fact: here in Germany they are currently discussing dropping a bunch of subjects from elementary school and pushing more German classes because children are barely able to speak German anymore.
At the same time they have lowered language requirements for government jobs (like cops) and are even discussing dropping German requirements for immigrants and adding additional official languages to immigration offices.
The West is fucked in its quest to cater to the dumbest people in the whole world.
Speaking of which, I hit the wrong button on my controller and came across the most absurd PBS kids teaching program where a teacher was trying to teach basic arithmetic while doing jumping jacks and squats.
IE "Is 4x4=18 true? No, it's false!" And she proceeds to do squats on camera. Utterly bizarre.
I assume kids were supposed to follow along, and that the entire thing was based on some idiotic notion that adding in exercises would somehow help promote the learning process for individuals who learn... math better that way? Frankly I don't get it.
Well it didn't show any kids, it was one of those kind of education programs a teacher in an IRL classroom setting would just turn on and have the students watch or follow along with.
The "teacher" I was describing in my previous comment was the instructor in the video itself, performing the exercises while teaching arithmetic. It's really tough to describe, and unfortunately, I've not had any luck trying to dig up any similar videos online.
Closest search results I can find are called "Math Facts to Jumping Jacks". Which somehow aren't nearly as cringe as what I saw.

Were the kids exercising as well? If not, then I don't know what the hell the teacher was trying to do.
