They will do as they are told when in school or they won't be there very long. Seems to me you have a problem with discipline if you agree with this behavior.
I have a problem with "teachers" telling students to speak "American", especially if the situation does not call them to speak a certain language.
I went to a department store and asked two people for a
certain item. They did not even know what I was asking for. Their English was bad. This is the new America.
You may just be a ******* that is easy to spot. I have a friend that works in retail and when they don't want to deal with a customer due to attitude, etc. they play the 'no habla ingles' routine just to mess with them.
Were you wearing Trump gear or a MAGA hat by any chance?
My wife and I have started speaking Spanish when we are out in public just to mess with the Trumpers.

LMAO that's funny, mate. My brother and his wife speak Arabic at times just to watch the Trumpers empty heads explode!!
I don't understand the condemnation of the teacher but the libs don't understand that the students were being disruptive and she couldn't teach - maybe ya'll want to step in and give it a try and see how successful you are.
Far as I'm concerned - when you're at home speak whatever language you want - but you better learn, know and understand English if you plan on living here.

Better yet you converse with the pretty Latina cashier at the fast food counter, meanwhile holding up the line of rednecks behind you that need to back at the job site in a hurry.

Or what, someone is going to write "you better learn" sternly on the internet?
This teacher showed her bigotry solely by using the term "speak American". No such thing. As a retired Para having worked in both NY and Florida, my tongue would have been bleeding to keep my mouth shut to her. There is no such thing as the American Language, and she should know that having a BA Teaching Degree. If students want to speak Spanish or any other language among themselves, they have every right to do so. At the very least, why didn't she ask them to speak ENGLISH not "American"? Bigotry.
Lesson from real life, Teach. When my husband's boss came to America from London, to start his own IT company here, he was asked to say something in "American". I will quote what he said to all of you. "Sir, you Yanks are speaking MY Native English Language, and never forget that". Enough American Language for you???

Glad the kids are bilingual I guess its unreasonable to expect students in an American classroom to speak English or American which is different than UK English. Of course these may be the same kids down the road complaining that the school system failed to teach them.... But its all about them so that's ok..
