Everywhere that I know of, there doesn't seem to be a local language requirement. Anyway, possibly one reason is that it would lower a number of people available. I mean, they have a tough time finding people as it is.

I think a really dedicated teacher won't mind doing some homework, so to speak, just like his/her students.
