Ebonics is a language system that has become a major part of English used in the United States. This characteristic of speech is spoken especially (but not exclusively) in African American communities in urban areas and in the south. I believe that children develop sensitivity to style and language variation early in life, if they are exposed to it. Dialect diversity can be a topic of study in the classroom, it is possible to set up lessons to teach dialect diversity in elementary schools (quoted in Rubba 2). Though some may disagree, there is no danger in using nonstandard kinds of English in the classroom, as long as they are presented in an accurate context and students are also provided with plentiful models of standard English.

Ebonics should not be taught as a language in schools, but as a guide to different linguistics and the difference between dialect and disorder in America. It’s important for students majoring in speech, linguistics or education, so that they are familiar with it when they encounter children, and they will know the difference bet

Does this mean that some of the students will have different textbooks in their classes according to which form of English they speak? , No it would be too much of a hassle and very confusing. Standard English can be taught by helping children develop an awareness of the contrast between their two speech varieties and learning to use one without losing pride in the other (Rubba 1). One of the negative effects of this might be bringing up some type of segregation in our schools and that would just be taking a step back in the wrong direction.
