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!)
Speak English: I would not separate the students. I'm sure that they feel much more comfortable around one another and need that to help them through the day. I would instead ask that they speak English during class time and then speak Spanish during lunch and recess times.

| Comments: Unfortunately as most of the students are not able to communicate in English this solution would not alleviate the situation. ESL services should be provided daily, having an English/Spanish word wall, calendar, and other resources that will help the students in the acquisition of a second language may prove to be more appropriate. |

| Comments: I don't think you should force all your students to speak English in the classroom and only speak Spanish when they are at recess or lunch. That can cause more stress on the students and this may cause them to have problems understanding the lesson as well. It would be better to find a way to incorporate both languages to decrease the stress on both the teacher and students. |

| Comments: Keeping them together will only promote the behavior. separating them for half of the time will promote English and lessen their reliance on speaking only Spanish. |
