It's certainly not fun for the supervisors either. While they forbid one child to speak another language, the other child is already speaking in another language. But it is especially stupid for the children. If a child can't speak German and only knows one other language, how can he or she communicate? Others even stop speaking completely at school or kindergarten, which is also not good for the children. They lose the ability to communicate.

In these days in my school there are some students that speaks another language that I dont know. It is good, because the new law can be effective to learn and understand the language but there are some annoying things that I dont like about the law and it can be not really good. The problem of the law is that you cant learn the language quick and some of the students can say that we cant speak our language and it was annoying in the past. If the party that made the law could be selected some of us can be in trouble.]]> 2023-03-31 09:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/geritjoyful/8zpptzsghyi14fw/wish/2539673643 My opinion to this new law https://padlet.com/geritjoyful/8zpptzsghyi14fw/wish/2539675735 In my opinion, it is important to speak other languages in school + (also mother tongue) because some people who move to Austria for the first time find it difficult to communicate and they have the right to speak their language, it is their decision, no one has the right to tell us in which language we should express ourselves. They have the right!

Besides, it will be exhausting for the teachers to go around like a policeman and say ''Please speak in German!

My Opinion about the  only german break law

IN MY Opinion Break law its not good, Because there are many student who cannot speak german and that was the case with me when i came to austria , Because of course when a new person is in a country other than his mother country and speaks other than his mother tongue at thze beginning but with the passagge of  time it will become better.this positive thing if the student speaks another language beacause it is possible in the future to help  another person if he does not speak German.

Because what should the people do who can not speak German? Normally they would speak English or another language. But now they can't do that because the law doesn't allow to speak other languages than German during the breaks. And it´s kind of racist in my opinion. I would continue to speak other languages because I would never listen to racists. Austria has the law freedom of speech, but if you give your opinion it never changes anything because the government or the parties and politicians never listen to us citizens.  ]]> 2023-04-18 08:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/geritjoyful/8zpptzsghyi14fw/wish/2558275295 My opinion about racism https://padlet.com/geritjoyful/8zpptzsghyi14fw/wish/2558280876 In my opinion Racism is very bad. Because people are getting treated differently even tho they are human too. They haven’t done anything. I cant do anything about it because I don’t know how to handle something like that. When people joke about someones nationality, skin color, religion and more it can hurt. I haven’t really experienced with racism. But people kept saying jokes like “your polish so you are probably gonna steal anything” I think its funny I don’t really take it personal. I think everyone should treat each other the same because we all are human with different cultures. Everyone is different and that’s okay because we cant be the same because it would be so boring if we looked the same and had the same personality and more.

I can kind of understand why they did that, because I think that they think, that everyone has to learn German so everyone could communicate with each other. I think that they think that Austria is a country where everyone should just speak German, but I think this is a bit racist. What if they cant understand anything and then they cant learn with them? If there would be a teacher that speaks their language, it would be way easier and they may be happy for that. Maybe the person that can not speak German that well, they may get bullied for it and the only thing they could do is learn German but this would take some time. But I think it’s a bad idea, because when they say everyone in schools should just speak German, they should put the English language to it as well. English is a language that everyone should learn. For example, if you are traveling and you can´t speak the language from the country you are visiting right now, you can speak English. They should just remove the rule and leave it how it was before.

I think that if the kids spoke more languages, then they would be able to communicate better with their classmates or even teachers. For example if one kid is from another country and the child doesn't speak German perfectly, I think that the kid might be happy if he can communicate in his own language. Maybe if the kids spoke more languages, then they would learn some expressions from other languages and that would help them because maybe in the future they will travel a lot.
I think that this law is racist because it basically says that German is the best language and everyone should be able to speak it. I also think that the kids want to speak their own language with other classmates because they love their language.

I think this rule is unnecessary.

Because you can't help someone if they speak the same language as you do, and because the teachers can't do their job properly because they would have to focus more on the children to speak in German than on the actual subject they have to teach.

I want to share my opinion with you. Remember, we are all born in different countries, some in Europe, some in Asia, some in Africa and some people think that they are much better because they are born in a "good" country and they insult others from other countries. Remember it is not of your choice where you are born, it is not of your choice if you are dark skinned.

A new rule was published in lower austria. It was set that in all schools only German must be spoken.And i find that on the one side good because then students can get more used to speaking better German.But on the other side it is also unfair for children who use another language to make contact with others.Because what if, for example a new student does not yet know how to speak German and they talk to others in English or other languages so they know what to do! What are they supposed to do? Surley it is not a Solution to ignore their needs and just use one language. Besides, I think it is always great when there are several languages you can talk to. It indirectly turns into racism because why would you want only one language and ban or avoid others. The issue of racism is a dangerous one and I don't think it is appropriate at all to show children at young age that they or their language and culture are not welcome. If the child doesn't feel comfortable and safe then they may refuse to learn or participate.

Finally I would like to express my Opinion: That not only in Austria but in the whole world every Language is WELCOME!!! And no one has the right to ban another language.
Thank you for your attention and understanding!

It`s so bad that people with a groll against them usually attack  or blam them for no reason. Even in todays world people never stopped hating black people and that makes me sad, because even children who don´t even know what´s happening get racial treatment by just doing nothing. I think people should let all be in the past and focus on the future ahead of us and teach the new generation to not make the same mistakes as them. Racisim is a concept of people think like they ´re better than most other people and think that they are not as them.I didn´t experience rasism, but I saw black people getting attacked by the police officers or their the groups of people who hated them.

It would be better to speak several languages than just one language, there are people who can't speak German well. It would be worse for the teachers to control if someone speaks another language and the teachers would have to spread out every break and listen if someone speaks another language. Children could get to know and understand each other better in other languages. someone can't speak german, then ask his friend and they could help each other.

German is not the only language in this world and not everyone can speak german. Like what should the people do if they can't speak german so perfectly? The teachers can't control it and I wouldnt care it too. Its our choice to speak the language we want. But some schools are really strict and some pupils dont want to get kicked out from their school and I am sure they dont feel comfortable bc of that. Speaking your own language is more comfortable than speaking the compulsory language.
