It's really frustrating when I paid $50k/yr at a top 5 univ for CS deg, and some of the CS courses (including a junior year core) were taught by PhD students with incomprehensible English accents. I have no issue with non-english speakers getting their PhDs...they're obviously very intelligent and I respect them greatly...however, they are not suited at all for instruction by lecture... in those courses i learned nothing during class, and learned everything myself later on.
i once had a PhD student as lecturer in an advanced track course -- we bumped into him at a bar one saturday...this guy was jumping all over the tables, drunk and wasted out of his damn mind...
now i did have some amazing profs but those were all tenured.
