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!) First and furthermore evening thinking about forcing the students to leave their native tongue at home is ludicrous. I suggest you create an environment that is relatable to the entire classroom. Implement the different cultures in the classroom is essential. It is normal for a group of people that share similar cultures and background to stick together in an environment that is unfamiliar. These kids are very young and are in the beginning stages of learning the fundamentals of learning. I encourage implementing a variety of grouping instructions and peer-related strategies.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Agreed, They should be allowed to speak in their native language at school.
