Two out of three of my mentees are best friends and are constantly talking in their native language. I have tried seating them farther from one another when we all work together, or having me or the third student sit between them. The teacher of the class knows they talk a lot, but only tells me to address it myself. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would address the issue with the students and the teacher. I would take my complaint to the principal for some type of support between you and the teacher on that issue.
