I'm from NeLa and dont know a single word of cajun french, but im still with Stacy on this one. It's a shame teachers are killing south LA culture and heritage by not including that in their teachings.

but that is a completely different complaint than the one lodged by Stacy. Stacy is upset that her kid's teacher doesn't speak Cajun French.

I agree that they should be doing more to preserve the unique language and culture of Acadiana. And there are schools in South Louisiana that do have a French curriculum. Apparently this school isn't one of them. I find it hard to be mad at a teacher that doesn't speak French expecting that the kids she is teaching also speak the same language as her i.e. English. If there was a kid in the class that speaks Spanish wouldn't you expect the teacher to encourage the kid to speak English?
