Should Ebonics Be Taught In High School
506 wordsShould Ebonics Be Taught In High Schools? I feel that if Ebonics were to be taught in high schools today, it would lower the already low standards on public education today. In most California schools, the competency level among its students in the reading and math department is already at an all time low, and by allowing Ebonics into the school system, it advocates less school work as well as laziness among its students. To say that Ebonics is a foreign language is wrong. It is the culminations...
