I wonder if this would work?

We are thinking about trying something new for 2010...

We think we'd like to try to start an ENGLISH ONLY rule in the school.

The idea is that students are only allowed to speak English while they are in the school building. We will police this and I'm suggesting a small fine (20 cents) every time someone breaks the new rule. The money we take from the fines will go to SPPD The charity in India that we are working with.

During the breaks, and after classes, we'll have someone to walk around and make sure that the only language being used is English...

Please vote on this idea - if there are more YES's than NO's we'll test it for a week...
