To tell them that their chosen dialect is flat our wrong is not the answer. To teach them that there is a 'correct' and respectful tone to use in certain situations would be more appropriate I think. Isn't that where the whole ebonics problem started? When a certain school district wanted to incorporate 'ebonics' into grammar lessons so they could teach 'proper' language skills?
