Summary/Main Ideas:
- We all should know everybody's dialect, at least as many as we can and be open to the mix of them in oral and written communication.
- Black English doesn't make it own-self oppression
- Instead of forcing people to learn the Standard Language Ideology, we should teach language descriptively.
- learn the different cultural perspectives
- teach how to understand listen and write multiple dialects simultaneously
- enlarge our perspective on what good writing is and how it is used through our daily lives
- As a society be more flexible/acceptable to language diversity
Quotes:
"Teachin one correct way lend a hand to chopping off folks' tongues." (111)
I agree with Young's response to Fish, having one standard in languages limits the ability for potential tongues to forum.
"Cuz nobody can or gone really master all the rules of any language or dialect" (112)
How can professors grade their students justly if every students language is different?
"Everybody mix their dialect they learn at home with whateva dialect or language they learn afterwards" (111)
If everyone speaks their own language why does the school system implement a standard for every to follow?
Critical Questions:
How would our school system fairly grade their students on English if there is no standard.
How do we change the structure of what the school teaches.
