My mother told me of punishment that she received for speaking French in school. Cajun and Creole children were forced to speak English at school, even at recess. As a young child Mom only spoke English to us for fear we would be punished at school. I was never punished for speaking French but a few of my friends were.

Everyone in the class must speak French during school hours. We have come full circle. I am so grateful my parents lived long enough to see children being encouraged to speak French in school. Please notice how the word "Not" slowly fades with each line the student writes as the words "Speak French" get bolder and Bolder!!
