Re: my opinion...
Posted by Truly on 4/10/08
Hi Laura Beth, If you read my message, I only stated that I was "wondering" and I
had not intended it as a criticism. Your message states: "I tried to tell her mom that she needs to speak to her in English
as much as possible to help her (the student even told me she gets
confused when her mom talks to her). But her mom still talks to
her in the native toungue." Your use of "But" and "still" indicates that you think she should
not be speaking in her native tongue. "But her mom still talks to
her in her native toungue." If you had intended the mother to use both English and her native
language, then why are you lamenting that her mother is STILL
talking in her native toungue? Perhaps you didn't express yourself in the manner in which you
meant. I do hear your frustration, however, and I hope that you can find
a way to work around your problem.l All the best,
Truly
