	Bilingual Children's Mother Tongue: Why Is It Important for Education?
		While students may not be physically punished for speaking their mother tongue in the school (as they previously were in many countries), a strong message is communicated to them that if they want to be accepted by the teacher and the society, they have to renounce any allegiance to their home language and culture.
		By contrast, when children are encouraged to reject their mother tongue and, consequently, its development stagnates, their personal and conceptual foundation for learning is undermined.
		Teachers can also help children retain and develop their mother tongues by communicating to them strong affirmative messages about the value of knowing additional languages and the fact that bilingualism is an important linguistic and intellectual accomplishment.

	Terralingua Definition -- mother tongue
		Short definition: the mother tongue(s) is/(are) the language(s) one has learned first (provided it is a language one can express oneself fully in) and/or (voluntarily) identifies with.

		Mother tongues are relations to be negotiated, not (only) characteristics that people possess, and relations depend on who has more power.

		Many speakers of ethnic languages who can not read or write were not able to learn to do so because of the language of instruction and the lack of an opportunity to learn first in their mother tongue.
