English and ONLY English at SIS

There has been a problem with speaking English for students at SIS who are from outside countries and whose native languages are not English. There is a rule that states that students must speak only English to each other during school hours.

The majority of the students at the school are Korean and it has become the most spoken language at school but never the less there are Chinese students who speak Chinese to each other while in class and probably more than that. The main reason students are being sent to SIS by their parents, besides to get a good education is to get better at speaking English which should be considered a great privilege to students who do not speak English as their first language.

This will be able to help students greatly in their future. Some people take that privilege for granted and do not make the right amount of effort to improve their English and continue to speak their native languages. This is why there is a new very strict rule about speaking languages other than English at school. First there are warnings, which lead to detention, which may lead to suspension, which might just lead to expulsion. This shows how much the staff of SIS wants to help non native English speakers improve their English to help them in the future. As a warning, before saying something, think about what language it is going to be in.
