Teacher Under Fire For Telling Student to Speak English

[toobfreak]

What is the official language of the United States?

The same language that all of our founding documents were written in.

 

[toobfreak]

First generation didn't speak English. There were large portions of the US that spoke German, French and Scandinavian. Spanish was spoken here before an English lobsterback ever set foot on the Americas.

Irrelevant. The Founders spoke English. The colonies spoke english. Our currency is in english. Our organic laws are all english. You move to a foreign country to live there, you learn the native language. Especially when put into a class with an English-speaking teacher and class.

If China invaded this land and conquered it, you would have no issue speaking Chinese?

When China does invade my country the very first thing I would do in its defense is unload my personal weapon up your pathetic, treasonist ass.

Skoden, bitch.

Irrelevant. The Founders spoke English.

They were late comers. Some spoke English.

The colonies spoke english.

Florida Spanish. Louisiana Purchase French. Mexico possessions Spanish.

Our currency is in english.

Eisenhower spoke German.

Our organic laws are all english.

Louisiana and Spanish proerty law would like a word.

You move to a foreign country to live there, you learn the native language.

Evidently she was trying to do that in a school 40% Spanish. Teacher lost it.

Especially when put into a class with an English-speaking teacher and class.

Teacher lost it. Teacher Bye Felicia.

A good teacher is going to WANT to do what is in the best interests of his/her students.

Then this was a good teacher: she rightly told the girl to get off her ass and lean the native english we all speak here instead of expecting the whole world to stand on its own head just to suit HER. Missed here is the real failure of the school system itself to just drop this Spanish-only student into an english school and classroom with no preparation of her nor even telling the teacher! How did this girl apply for school in Virginia in the first place when she can't even speak the language!

Things like this only happen when you put the government in charge of anything.

Evidently she was trying to do that in a school 40% Spanish.

Then they should put all the Spanish-speaking students together. Then teach them english. Sooner or later this kids will HAVE to learn english no matter HOW you dice it!

 

[toobfreak]

we're too great of a nation to limit ourselves to just one language ...

You go to Russia, they speak Russian. You go to Japan, they speak Japanese. You go to Paris, they speak French. English is the generally accepted universal language not Spanish--- While you will usually find some that speak other languages, people in America usually only know English and if you are going to live in America you better know English because that is the standard accepted language here for everyone here except Zincwarrior.

Evidently the school disagreed.

 

[toobfreak]

You’ve been here 13 years longer, dumbass.

Hey math wizard, no matter how long you are here, your message count and reaction scores both go up proportionally. You don't just stop posting for a couple years while reaction scores keep coming in.

No you would not, you are a keyboard commando in depends, nothing more

 

[toobfreak]

Evidently the school disagreed.

Yep, and that's what's so funny. These days, most everything I see public schools doing is fucked up. Hell, schools were fucked up in 1970 when I left the public school system for good so I could actually get an education. Apparently they are even worse now.

 

[Road Runner]

It’s not your problem yet.

What are you on about now?

Bad form to tell the student to go back to her country. Yep that will get you fired.

Unfortunately you're probably right because you "misgender" somebody or state a biological fact that there's only two genders and that's bound to cost you your job.


So telling a student that you don't speak their language so they have to speak yours is a given to get you fired as well.

 

[Hellbilly]

What are you on about now?

You’ll see.

 

[Road Runner]

You’ll see.

Is that a threat?

 

[Hellbilly]

Is that a threat?

Nope.

 

[Road Runner]

Nope.

Good, because it sure sounded like it.

 

[Paleman]

Unfortunately, you may be right, because by then you and your despicable Liberal Democrat friends will have taken our guns away. There would be nothing here like the French resistance during world war 2 because we will be unarmed.

 

[Hellbilly]

Good, because it sure sounded like it.

Well it wasn’t. I don’t care enough to make threats.

 

[Road Runner]

I honestly cannot believe that there are so many people against the teacher for simply telling a student that this is an English speaking country, she does not speak Spanish, so therefore everybody has to speak English in her classroom. It's got me baffled for sure.
