When the US. tried to pressure Puerto Ricans to teach English as their first language in schools, many opposed it. The teachers couldn’t speak English and it was absurd for them to teach something they didn’t know. Also, the teachers taught the class in "English", but the students ignored them because they didn’t understand them. Many of the Puerto Rican “jíbaros” dropped out of school. Currently, English is taught, but as a second language. All classes are in Spanish, except for English class.
