    It is clear there are many issues in our school system that must be addressed. However the use of Ebonics, African American Vernacular English, in the English curriculum is not one of the solutions. Using Ebonics as part of our kids’ curriculum is not only unfair to the forty percent of kids who are not African American, but it also does injustice to all the students by not focusing on teaching them Standard English, which is used in higher education and by most employers.…

The teachers may have to spend more time to explain to the student and communicate with…

    However, foreign teachers have many limitations. First, even though native English speakers are fluent in English, they do not possess knowledge of the complex of English grammar. Second, the students are so young. They do not have enough comprehension to cause them to be uncertain of the meaning of the sentence. But foreign teachers can not explain in Chinese. Last, the expense of hiring foreign teachers is an issue. And the purpose of most of the native English speakers hired is to make a lot of money in a short time.…
