Melchom Shinobi 1977 I blame public schools for focusing on quantity instead of quality. They seem to believe that cramming shitloads of information and giving shitloads of homework equals a quality education. But if you look at the information and homework, you see most of it's really just mediocre quality busywork. American schools should focus on teaching students things worthy of learning instead of lengthening the school day, school year, giving hours of homework, etc. I agree completely. When I look at how my teachers are in comparrison to my old school it's mind boggoling(SP). It's incredibly to think that there could be such difference. @Shrocomemos: I think some teachers try but hardly ever. The students are really to blame. Also the music that they listen to, rap, has horrible grammar and words/phrases like the example. Good point. But not all the kids listen to rap and still talk like that.
@Shinobi: Wait, what does the schoolwork have to do with language?

Hmm....I would have to saay there are plenty of things. Education is one of them, but then again, I go to a public school. Obviously, music and rap has something to do with it. I mean, they dress like the rappers they like, and do talk like them. The cursing probobly goes along with morality droping like a rock, and they probobly pick it up from their parents. It seems that public school kids are more ignorant, too. They don't read, and whenever you say something intelligent, your mocked for it. I'm a writer and artist, adn I'm constantly made fun of, and people say things like "Who draws?" to me, and treat me like crap. But now I'm getting off topic. And about Ebonics, it isn't always that. There's also things like dude, and the such. I use a bit of slang in my language, but usualy it's what I like to call "Otaku slang", meaning that not only do I use slang commonyl used by anime fans, but I'll also say one or two Japanese words, like "Baka" and such.
