This answer is on the presumption that the question refers to English grammar schools of the medieval/Tudor/Elizabethan period, where boys were required to converse in Latin, and were punished for speaking English. Such punishment would invariably take the form of birching (i.e. flogging with the birch) administered to the errant pupils bare buttocks.

In what way did kingstons parents experience language exclusion in their childrens school?

Kingston's parents faced language exclusion in their children's school because they were immigrants who spoke limited English, which made it difficult for them to communicate effectively with teachers and participate in their children's education. This barrier led to a sense of alienation, as they were often unable to understand school policies and events, and their cultural perspectives were marginalized. Their experiences highlight the challenges faced by non-English speaking parents in navigating an educational system predominantly designed for English speakers. This exclusion not only affected their involvement but also impacted their children's educational experience and sense of belonging.
