I didn't put that I could speak Spanish on my application or on my resume, so don't assume that just because I am of hispanic decent that I automatically know how to roll my R's and understand Spanish Thank you!  )

DITTO!!! In Miami if you don't speak spanish but ARE spanish then people automatically start talking to you in spanish expecting you to know....in which i polietly respond that i do not speak spanish...and then i get the whole...OMG you dont speak spanish this is Miami you need to speak spanish....then they ask where i am from, and when i say Puerto Rican they say...."ohhhh those Puerto Rican's don't teach thier kids anything useful"
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
in my head im always thinking...this may be miami but we are in AMERICA...where people speak ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!
*deep breath* ok.....got that off my chest thanks
Id ALSO like to add...that:
*Just because I changed my major to elementary education does NOT mean that I was looking for an "easier" major.
*Elementary Education is NOT as easy of a major as everyone thinks...a deeper look into the field will prove otherwise!
ps. teachers are great!
