Ebonics in Schools
Many black individuals have played their part in America's history. Has the Oakland School gone too far by wanting to teach a black slang language in school. In this paper, you will see the peoples, teachers, and the student's opinion as well as the Senate.
A lot of people are speaking out on the subject, especially actors.
Arsenio Hall replied to reporters “When I heard somebody from Oakland say the word genetic, on TV, I ran into the kitchen so I didn't have to be mad at anybody.” James McDaniel of ABC's NYPD Blue and S. Epatha Merkerson of NBC's
Law and Order described the Oakland School Board's decision on Ebonics as a distinct genetically based language (Shister, p.1). Civil Rights leader Jesse
Jackson defended

Also, 64% of the students held back were African American, 71% of the African American
Males attended school on a regular basis, 19% of Senior African Americans did not graduate, and 80% of all students suspended were black (Shister, p.2).
While Ebonics rages as a hot topic in the spotlight of American media, so called Black English has played a quiet role in an Atlanta area school district for more than a decade. About 600 students in the Dekalb School District just east of Atlanta is taking a course known as “bi-dialectal communication.” In
Dekalb County Ebonics is not considered a language, but a dialect. Specifically, it's appropriate for the classroom. The course focuses on more than just the non-standard English of Ebonics. The students learn they must project, enunciate and gesture properly to communicate. This is the 11th year of the federally funded bi-dialectal program. Administrators cite rising test scores in language arts and reading as evidence that it works. Parents also seem to approve. One parent said if they had something like that when she was growing up, she would've made it farther (Cambell, p.2). On the Internet, Ebonics isn't necessarily a black vs. white thing. It's more a matter of justice vs. joke.
This declaration sparked debates that argued whether or not Ebonics should be included in a classroom setting. However, in order to provide cultural edification to black students, Ebonics should be incorporated into high school social studies

Education has existed throughout history in one form or another. The process of passing down accumulated information from one generation to the next has been present in every human society, past and present. From the young listening to the stories of the elders around the hearths of the ancient world, to pupils being instructed in the alphabet in a one room schoolhouse on the American frontier, to the present day online teaching sessions; the tradition of teaching and learning has been a constant in the ever changing world. Education has been and continues to be used for many purposes, chief among them being the creation of an educated citizenry, the empowerment of that citizenry, and improvement of the
When watching the movie Lean On Me directed by John G. Avildsen, the characters are seen as rambunctious, illiterate delinquents, suffering from poverty. Many citizens have advised to close this school because it is a “waste of education no worth trying to improve the incompetent, poor, trashy students that attend it.” The school board saw for this and agreed that the African American, Hispanic, and a few Caucasians were nothing but troubled, rigid, uneducated kids. This may be what they have grown to be, however they were raised in a facility everyday that had no guidelines or expectations. No one but the student is to blame some may say, but the students only did what the administrator and educators allowed.
At this school, education was not thought of as a priority, at least not academic education. Instead, students educated themselves on the hippest trends of the streets. For example, if you wanted to make it through Waters without being made fun of or “joned,” you had to wear what was socially acceptable in the black community, you had have your hair a certain way, you had to wear certain types of shoes from certain stores, and you even had to walk a certain way in order to show how much influence you had.
Numerous teens go off to college not knowing basic life skills that become increasingly helpful when you're off on your own. Figuring things out on your own isn’t always an awful thing, but if you had someone to teach you about life and how to manage your way through it, it would be so helpful. One not so great thing about figuring information out on your own is that you could end up making some costly mistakes. One of the best times to learn life skills such as managing money, cooking, raising a child, first aid, relationship and communication skills, and how to get a job is right before a teen goes off to college. There is a great deal of teens who go off to college and will be living on their own for the first time, if we taught life skill type classes in high school they would be more prepared to go off on their own.

In almost every culture and in all parts of the world, getting an education is valuable to a person’s future. But what is it that makes education so valuable? What is the purpose of an education starting from the early stages of a child’s development into adolescents, and from adolescents into adulthood?
My passion is to not only teach students in a creative and positive way that they are actually learning but also to inspire them to learn and make something great of themselves in their future. The reason being when I was younger I did not take my education that serious. If I would have known then how serious an education was, I feel that I could have accomplished more in middle and high school. After school I wouldn't care about actually learning about my homework. For this reason I want to inspire kids to want to learn at a young age and for them to see that their education and work ethic is very important even at their age. Most importantly I want my future students to want to learn.
Elementary teachers not only introduce their students to the basic concepts of core subjects, they also help pave the path to each student’s future success. Education to become a teacher is long and tedious, and while the income may not be the highest available, watching students develop a new skill or grow an appreciation for learning can be very rewarding. Because there will always be a need for education, even with the recent budget cuts, teaching jobs will always have to be available somewhere.
Learning and knowledge are highly prized in all societies, especially here in Ireland, where there is a strong tradition of respect for education.
