I am a little more blunt with the parents. I tell them that being American means learning English. I do learn a couple of basic words in their hime language, but I encourasge the parent that the child will soon learn English. I have this policy simply because I can have up to 5 different cultures in my AM/PM class. I can't possibly be expected to learn 5 different languages. My family is from Germany, and I was taught English so I can be an American. (I haven't had any german kids yet!) Name: Email: Subject
