Anybody else work at a school where a majority of the parents don’t speak English?

Teacher Support &/or Advice

This wouldn’t be an issue itself per se. After all, there’s Talking by Points and others. But apparently admin. thinks that node is “unacceptable”. If we don’t speak the language, get an interpreter.

We have one, but wouldn’t you know, she doesn’t stay the whole day. When she is here, she has others ditties so isn’t always able to translate…

Could be worse I suppose. I’m sure there are plenty of you where a majority of your the parents speak English, but they either:

A) Never answer

B) Are total assholes

At least you can document that. I can’t with a lot of these parents.
