Hi Grazielle, You are not mean! Yes, it is against the rules. Worksheets have to be 100% English. The worksheet should be reported.  Hugs Joey |

It is published automatically but then it �s up to members here to try and make an effort to keep the site clean:) Sophia |

In my opinion, reporting worksheets that contain a glossary or table of vocab and phrases with English + one or two other languages is *insert negative adjective / expletive according to your level of tolerance*
We all have basic word skills, and can replace that other language with translations to the language our students speak. Should we teach mixed groups, there is always the option of deleting that part of a worksheet.
The rule should be modified: e.g. a 10-20% portion of non-English languages should be allowed. Alternatively: if the worksheet is easy to modyfy (i.e. does not contain too many - in my mind useless - graphics and designs), non- English should be allowed.
