Black students do not need this crap to learn and achieve. They need the same thing other students do, parents who emphasize the importance of school, administrators who will not tolerate discipline problems, and good teachers who care about the students and what they do. Don't tell me black students can't achieve just because their parents are poor either, I've seen it myself in the public school I teach in.

Also, keep in mind that if they are too poor to move, the parents of these children don't have a choice where their kids go to school. How many of them would actually choose to send their kid to a school that teaches ebonics?
Thats why Charter Schools legislation is so important to be enacted and, IMO, should be the number 1 priority of african american political leaders:

I'd bet my last nickel that those proposing this ebonics stuff don't support charter legislation.
You are quite right. All students can learn. Perhaps they learn at different rates, but everyone can become a productive citizen - if they are taught by teachers who care AND who understand how people become "educated". That said, not everyone has the ability to become a brain surgeon. The world needs professionals in both blue and white collar jobs. I've worked in both.
