Hey Yas & Ali, are kids in Canada, who speak Arabic at home, allowed to speak Arabic in school? @ConfessionsExMu @aliamjadrizvi

It depends on one thing though. In some French schools in Quebec you can only speak French and in some English schools if you are in the French immersion program you are encouraged to speak only French. This might have changed but it was like that until the early 90s
Yes, this is true. My daughter is in French immersion—but this only applies in the classroom, not the playground. When I teach ESL I ask the students to speak only English in the classroom too. It’s an academic thing-not a restriction on their native languages.

I was speaking strictly of Quebec. I was in immersion and we would get scolded by our teachers for speaking English outside of class grades 3-11
