By Andrea Menzies

Everyone keeps trying to get me to work in Spanish speaking jobs this week. I do not speak Spanish. Any person in my family speaking Spanish learned it from a book. My parents worked travel jobs in France and Germany when I was a kid. They were both U.S. citizens born in the USA, and I was born on US soil. My passport says I am a US citizen. I mentioned to a few people I spoke other languages as a kid at lunch one day, and I am from Texas. The other languages were German and French as my dad worked in Germany. It is a seriously prejudice and disturbing trend I see in Virginia that they think all Texas people are originally from Mexico. You put me in a class filled with kids from Mexico they may get killed with me not understanding them at all in an emergency.

This is why I am leaving Facebook: A conversation someone said to me on there. Ronaldo AquinoIsn’t there an app or two for that? I saw this old Chinese woman using it with a nurse. Ronaldo Aquino Andrea Menzies It is slow as a nightmare to whip that out in class. Also students use slang that is not programed into apps so that is not a real option for teachers at all. I tried it and students misbehave like garbage ever second a teacher tries to use Google translate. Thank you for being an example of why I am quitting Facebook. Everyone criticizes me and gives me NOTHING but STUPID answers to my every statement.
