Case: SPEAK ENGLISH! I am a Kindergarden teacher that has a big group of hispanic students in the classroom. Many of them do not know how to speak English and thus makes it very complicated and frustrating to communicate. What is even worse, is that these students tend to speak Spanish when they are amongst themselves. Clearly, as a teacher I want them to be able to Participate, however, I am not sure whether or not I should separate them and forcé them to leave their native tongue at home. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) While it can be frustrating, it is simply not okay to separate the students and force them to speak English. Language is a part of identity and by forcing your students not to speak it you are implying that something is wrong with their culture. Instead you need to find ways to embrace the Spanish speaking in your classroom. We should be proud of our students can are on their way to being bilingual. That is a serious talent that you should be nuturing, not trying to kill. |
