What you've said about school in Catalonia is one of the lies you are helping spread. And I know it because I had several teachers that taught in spanish, without any problem from neother students, parents or anyone else involved.

And if that happened in a relatively small town from Lleida, with far more people talking in catalan, imagine what happens in big cities like Barcelona where there are more people that don't speak catalan.

Well, I'm sure you studied before Esperanza Aguirre handed control over education to the Generalitat in the late 90's. You aren't so young

To make things clear, by public schools I meant it strictly. I know that "centros concertados" (is there even a word for those in English?) and full private schools teach in spanish, and that the Generalitat paid the costs to spanish kids that had no choice but to study in those if their parents couldn't afford it.

I'm not that old! I did high school in the 90s

And my brother, a few years younger than me, had the same experience as me.

As for all that sh!t with those concerned parents worried that their children couldn't be teached in Spanish, which some media made it look like they were hundreds when in fact it was only a dozen, maybe two, families, you have to realize that teachers teach in the language they're more comfortable with. That's why catalan teachers in Catalonia teach in catalan (d'oh!). And most "centros concertados" (associated schools?) also happen to teach in catalan.

To end this, some of the schools those "concerned" parents put their kids in to avoid their kids to be taught in Catalan instead of Spanish, happen to be foreign schools that teach mostly in English, French or German. Surprising? Not so much, to be honest.
