Ebonics Being Pushed onto Black Students

Instead of teaching them English, the schools are now going to encourage black students into using Ebonics to keep them interested in school. My question is this: Just because the California school system accepts Ebonics, will the employers of the real world accept it? It's a dog eat dog world out there. Is this school system preparing these students for what lies ahead of them, or just masking the problem so they don't have to deal with it head-on?

What's sad is when a black kid does speak proper English, he's made fun of by other black students. Why is speaking proper English a bad thing? Why would you be an "uncle Tom" for saying "Four" instead of "Foe"?

The most important thing you can master in this world is the English language. It will get you farther then anything else.

Agreed. Even if you dont know what you are talking about, at least SOUND like you know....

people speak the english language in every other country

I have met and hung out with several people from other countries, both those who visited here and those who recently moved here....and what is shocking is that some of them speak better English than many black teens I've encountered. And I don't mean my friends from Britain. LOL

I had an ex-girlfriend from Colombia, who spoke absolute perfect English (French too), though she was born and raised in Bogota rather than here.

And, I have a friend in Argentina who works for MCI and she is on the phone a lot talking to businesses in the US, who also speaks better than many of the black youth I've met in the last few years (as an employer and retailer). Sad, but true.

I have had that. I even had an employee who I hired for whatever reason, even though her speech later bothered more than I thought it would. And too many times I'd hear from friends or family that when they called work after I had left, she told them, "Who, Ron? Who be this? Nah, he done left areddy." (already) I couldn't fire her for her speech, and it embarrassed me that I'd overlooked that. But she was a nice person and I often corrected her and tried to help her speak gooder English. Sadly, I ain't had much luck with that. ;)

Werd yo.

Werd, werd, yo, on you too:

I think the whole ebonics thing is a crock of shit. Learn to speak the language properly. There are way too many people that don't speak english the right way and just sound ignorant. Would you hire an attorney/doctor that talks like he just drove in from compton?
