syntactic-analysisword-order

While teaching my students in a elementary school, I asked them to use the question

Could you repeat (that), please?

However, the next day I received a letter from a mother saying the correct form is

Could you please repeat (that)?

I teach in a Spanish-speaking city (This is in Peru, Latin America).

Best Answer

I'd go with both:

Could you repeat, please?

and:

Could you, please, repeat?

The commas are imho crucial.
