The One Truth 48 Posted February 4, 2012 You know, now that I think about it... It's a Catholic school, it's not that all surprising. >_> EDIT: I mean the catholic thing as a joke. But I guess its seem to be taken the wrong way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingdom Sora 464 Posted February 4, 2012 Okay this is one of the stupidest things to get upset over. I mean saying something in another language and the teacher not believing the student, who speaks the language, to a teacher, who might not know the language at all. What now if I tell someone in Japanese that "you're awesome" and a teacher hears it I'll get expelled? They really need to not let language be an issue and trust their student a bit more.

Kishira 2,854 Posted February 4, 2012 People keep getting dumber and dumber, two innocent words were spoken in a different language and it gets her suspended?........Wtf? Those teachers knew it was a stupid thing to get upset about seeing as they all pointed the finger at the other. >_> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junko 2,815 Posted February 4, 2012 Haha, y people no makin sense anymore. If the girl knows the language then she KNOWS whats she's saying. That's the worse excuse to suspend someone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khoathkeeper13 429 Posted February 5, 2012 It's a Catholic school, it's not that all surprising. >_> That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Geez... I hate it when people say that kind of stuff.As for the teacher, she really shouldn't have made such a big deal when she had no way of knowing whether or not what the girl was saying was what she said.

The One Truth 48 Posted February 5, 2012 That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Geez... I hate it when people say that kind of stuff. It's fine, I was just joking. I guess it wasn't obvious enough, sorry about that. But in all seriousness now. It's shame, I mean to do something like this just because you had no idea what she was saying and not giving the girl the benefit of the doubt is wrong. If she wasn't to sure of what to it make ask the family they would have told them. Or anyone who could speaks the language. Suspending her was totally uncalled for. It's a shame how people can be like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Think Pink 1,967 Posted February 5, 2012 You know, now that I think about it... It's a Catholic school, it's not that all surprising. >_> Just because it's a Catholic school doesn't mean anything. :// I don't think religion had anything to do with what happened. I don't know why people are so prejudiced against Catholic schools. I went to a Catholic school until 5th grade (it stopped at 5th so I had to change schools) and I absolutely adored the place. The teachers were some of the best I've ever had, the kids were really nice, and overall it was great. Sheesh, stop beating down on Catholic schools, guys. Now, I can see where the teacher had some reservations. I mean, after all, if the teacher didn't know the language, how could she know what she was saying? Almost all of the many illegal Hispanics in my current high school say stuff in Spanish that they claim is harmless, but are actually bad words. Our Spanish teacher busted them for saying some really bad words in Spanish. And if a teacher in lunch or history or someone who didn't know Spanish asked, they'd say they were practicing Spanish and talking about the class or something. She did go a bit too far, though, to get Miranda suspended and benched for her basketball game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
