A principal bans speaking Spanish in a Texas school
Hello!
I've found this article in on the internet. It's a news article referring to a problem with Spanish language in Texas. Supossedly Supposedly the principal in an a school banned to any students from speaking in Spanish.
In my opinion, in Spain we've similar matters with some foreing foreign people that speak other languages. It's difficult attempting to combine differents different cultures without problems. Normaly Normally the people speaking the same language are tending tend to establish relations with each other, creating little groups. In this situation is it's possible that this these groups would be excluded by the "main" culture people.
The article is saying that the spanish speakers are more than the fifty percent of the school population which would increase the problem. I think all the people in that country, and possibly around the world, want to live without problems, including the school principal has been referred to in the news.
Perhaps one day in the future we'll be able to share an only a single language and all this these problems will disappear ... although probably another other problems will come to us.
Thanks for your corrections. Best regards.

A Principal Bans Speaking Spanish in a Texas School
Hello!
I've found this article on the internet. It's a news article referring a problem with about speaking Spanish language in Texas. [The way you wrote it means there is a flaw in the Spanish language itselft!] Supossedly, the principal in an school banned to any students speaking in Spanish.
In my opinion, In Spain, we've have similar matters with some foreing problems people that speak other languages. It's is difficult in attempting to combine blend differents cultures without problems. Normaly, the people speaking the same sharing a common language are tending to establish relations each other creating little groups congregate and turn into splinter groups. In this situation, is possible that this such groups would may be left behind and be excluded by the "main" culture people majority.
This article is saying that the Spanish speakers are comprise more than half of the fifty percent population. which would increase This exacerbates the problem. I think all the believe that people in that country, and possibly around all over the world, would want to live without problems, including the school principal has been referred mentioned in the news.
Perhaps one day in the future, we will be able to share an only common language and all these problems will disappear... ... although probably another problems will come to us. [Adding this last sentence weakens your conviction]
As an adult you can choose what to speak or to live. However, as a child, you have no choice but to learn the language of the land; ie the language of political administration, the language of commerce and the language of that society if you want to rise up to the top. It is like going to school, whether you like it or not.
Speaking English only will not help you rise to the top of any Spanish society. The principal is doing the kids a great favor. For those who advocate otherwise has their own secret agenda - that is to prevent them from rising and hence less competition for themselves. Think about it. Always eliminate the competition if you want to rise to the top.
The idea of having one common language is just a pipe dream. This is because of human nature. We tend to remain in our comfort zones and refuse to learn anything that they don't like. Remember that everyone of us had to memorize the multiplication tables? Now we know the real reason behind. English is moving that goal of being the common language is due to human nature again. It is the language of money. People will learn new things if they there are incentives to do so. Right now, US English is at the top because US has the largest economy in the world. When China does, it would be Chinese. Once upon a time, Spanish was the language of the west. Then came French in diplomacy and finally German in the world of science. US now holds the most number of Nobel Prize winners; the richest nation on earth... You get my drift. The language of money beats all other languages.
Thanks for your corrections. Best regards.
