My Dad’s parents, who were European immigrants, spoke German in their home, and my Dad was sent to kindergarten one day not knowing more than a few English words.

He was kicked out of kindergarten and the teacher told him not to come back until he could speak English.

I guess some things never change, unfortunately.
