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

In Belgium the problem is that some children only hear a foreign language at home so by the time they go to school they have a severe disadvantage. I think kids in school should speak the national language & that it’s the responsibility of the parents to make sure they speak it.
Ah yes. This is definitely an issue in Canada. Quite often the parents themselves don’t know English-so they can’t prepare their kids for school. Luckily kids learn languages pretty quickly-so even w the disadvantage, they eventually catch up.

There are lots of things parents can do, send them to the local scouts for example. Let them make friends outside their community, which can be hard at the beginning but will pay off later in life. I fear the day I hear the word “Islamic Scouts”.

Conservative Muslims will never do that. The last thing hey want is for their kids to spend more time w NonMuslims. Before the Islamic school was built and I went to a public school-I even had to go home for lunch to restrict how much I interacted w nonMuslim kids.
