Looking at it a different way, do you think these children will be able to make it in a chosen career field if they do not learn proper English? I understand that these children when talking to others in their neighborhoods need to use Ebonics, but this is not the standard language in the United States. I’m not saying they should give up their dialog, but learn the language that is going to get them further in their education and the job field. Just like with Hispanics they learn English in schools as their main language, and schools also teach Spanish but Spanish is a recognized language of a country, Ebonics is known as slang language and not a language of a certain country. What are your thoughts?
