  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!)
I would not recommend that students are not allowed to speak Spanish. For these students, Spanish is the only language they know. I would schedule some time for these students to have to communicate with one another. It may be that they are trying to teach one another about how to manage in the classroom. It might be a goo idea to schedule a time in the day that they can get together, just for communication.
