ugh.
i am so frustrated. i try and try to teach my students (4th grade) correct grammar and what do i get? nonsense from rap songs that they think is acceptable!
they tell me they "went to get their hair did" like in that nasty song. i try to tell them they "went to get their hair done" but it's like they don't believe me because they heard the other way in a song so that has to be correct. it drives me crazy.
then another student told me that her brother's "baby mamma" came to visit. i said no, it's the mother of the baby, not a baby mamma. literally, a baby momma is a mom that is a baby. they look at me like i have 4 heads!
ugh
i swear, these kids will NEVER pass the freaking 4th grade ELA when they write and speak like this. wake up parents and correct these kids like i am trying so hard to do in vain! there are NO EXCUSES for this nonsense! it's one thing to not know correct grammar, but it's another thing to be ignorant.
kids can't speak and i partly blame rap
