I read an excellent parallel Greek and English translation when I was a kid, probably the one in the Loeb Classical Library. They probably had this attitude, but I didn't find it objectionable at all, and I'm not a native English speaker. If a 19-year old engineering student can't read that, even in his own language, what's the point? The guy's a bore. I think it's probably better to just read them having picked them off a bookshelf than in a class though.
