The question to decide
There is only one teacher who can teach the minority language, and newly arrived students struggle with the common language and so cannot join other subjects as well. Teaching both languages together is a heavy preparation burden. Between the chance to carry the language forward and the chance to join classes now, how should the school use this teacher's time?
