and?

ah haha, I thought you had been suspended from your class. Eh, ignore me.

That's my standard policy ;)

Totalmente loco. ¡Máteles!

that is so insane. I went to a school that had pretensions to being an all english speaking one, and we were forbidden to speak our native languages in the school. I grew so proud of my ability to speak/write in English that I completely neglected my own language, and with the result that even today I am much more fluent in English. I did not realise how much damage that school had done to me till I got a job working in a remote part of my state where I ended up stumbling over every sentence.

ridiculous--it wasn't in a class, and it didn't affect their schoolwork at all.

The Principal needs to be fired. Not much different than telling Amerindian kids their native tongue was filthy and not to speak it -- a little more covert, but the effect seems to be the same.

If they did that to my Spanish-speaking niece, I'd be furious. Luckily, her school recognizes her bilingualness as a great benefit.

Mui stupido.

Mama Mia!

Puntas.

Pinches.

Pendejos.
