Ack! That's where I live! Stupid San Bernardino...
They've pushed ebonics around here before, and I don't think it's going to work. It only, so far, has served to reinforce class divides between blacks and other races in the same way Spanglish does.
Hopefully they'll give up on this at least a bit in the next year so they don't try to make me teach it... I just can't imagine having "ax" be one of the class key words or "shizzle" on the spelling test.
Randy: Can I get you something?
Second Jive Dude: 'S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me up... tight me!
Randy: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
First Jive Dude: Cutty say 'e can't HANG!
Jive Lady: Oh stewardess! I speak jive.
Randy: Oh, good.
Jive Lady: He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
Randy: All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine?
Jive Lady: Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da' rebound on da' med side.
Second Jive Dude: What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!
Jive Lady: Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da' help!
First Jive Dude: Say 'e can't hang, say seven up!
Jive Lady: Jive ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Hmmph!
Those kids should be able to get a job in the airline industry. Lord knows we need them considering the security risks.
Smile even though its breaking
I'm not sure if I should laugh, or scream.
Looking at ebonics from a cultural/social perspective may be valid, and would certainly be valid for language graduates. Teaching ebonics, however, is the most retarded thing I have ever come across. Sure, I use l33t sp34k. Doesn't mean it should be taught in schools.
I think I'm going to laugh.
Why is it that even nowadays, people cant speak english properly?
Gone are the days of no education. There's really no excuse for not knowing proper english.
I cant believe this. So dumb. Why not there be a course so they learn english the right way, instead of us learning it the wrong?
A Ebonics lesson: "Instead of am not, use ain't. "
~Keep it gooey~
xD, now I won't be so confused!
Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan

"Going to" >> "finna" is a better example.

~Keep it gooey~

Ha! Sounds like someone needs to listen to Foamy
America is definitely on the right track now. I hope this program reaches out to each and every school in the entire country. Thinking about my little boy coming home to say, "Yo, sup pops! Yo, dem schoolio's lunch, they be messin' they food, homie!" send tingles of excitement down my spine. And of course, I'm going to greet him with a, "You be wylin'! Did you whoop dem tricks?!"
Darn you goyabean, I was just about to quote Airplane.
And since when was ebonics considered a language? It's just a bastardization of the english language.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
