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

some think it would be a good idea to let for example Arabic speaking kids ask other Arabic speaking kids (that also can speak the national language) in the classroom for help in Arabic.
No. This seems like an easy shortcut, but in the long run it’s a dangerous crutch. We have a lot of research on this in Canada as it’s an issue we’ve been dealing w for a while. Hopefully they’ll look into what other countries have done and learn from our mistakes.
