AAVE, pidgin, they're dialects of english... You know what else is?
Bri'ish. And 'stralian. And 'murrikan.
Just tossing this out here, if we had classes, specific education, on how to talk Australian, and a different one for how to talk American, and a different one for how to talk British, and another for Jamaican, and another for "Black"...
Kids hate English class already, and we only have to teach them one language. English teachers are already at wits end. To add in the more egregious dialects as common core education? Bin tink fluffy tachas no like dat, man.
Hell no, that Ebonics should be taught wasn't at all what I meant. Because unfair though it may be, people are judged for speaking with an Ebonics/hillbilly accent, and you will find less success in your life if you are going around speaking one of these stigmatized accents. Also, people will be less able to understand you.
