Ebonics suggested for district

SAN BERNARDINO - Incorporating Ebonics into a new school policy that targets black students, the lowest-achieving group in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, may provide students a more well-rounded curriculum, said a local sociologist.

The goal of the district's policy is to improve black students' academic performance by keeping them interested in school. Compared with other racial groups in the district, black students go to college the least and have the most dropouts and suspensions.

This is just not sound thinking, IMO. So tell me again how codifying ebonics, which at the next level (exempting the Black Student Union) won't be accepted at anybody's college/university or in the professional world, is going to help these children?
"Ebonical expression" is for your peeps in social settings or after work...and for Greekchat

The piece referenced Oakland's earlier adoption of this. What preliminary results have they seen?
