Quite easy exept for one case. How come the fourth teacher's accent is Oxford? Did you guess basing on her "hints" only?

[dlind36]

Yeah, she's actually from northern England originally but spent several years in Oxford and thought she had lost much of her northern accent.

Greg is SO Cleveland. I am from the Mistake on the Lake also, and that's my accent! :)

Sarah speaks scouse, imo. She's from Liv'pool maybe.

[chibiusaoni]

Ireland

Liverpool?

Greg sounds like Utah. That T thing. They just talk a bit funnier than the rest of us, even the rednecks.

Somewhere south England?

London

Now that I've read down, I still can't see Chicago or midwestern at all. Also Great Salt Lake would fit too.
