AAE

Da other day i walkin down da sdreet an tinkin about ol' frien' Jackson. We be goo' frien's, den he say he don't tan' be frien's no mo'. I be sad. Feel really ba' for a long time. Den, I turn da corner an see him. He aks, "How are you?" I say, "Okay. How are you doin'?" He say, "Okay." I tol' him dat I da new skore manage.. He say "Congradulations." He say he be workin' real har' ad his job an he be sorry dat he ha' not dalk do me in a while. He say I loo' goo' an hope dat we could get together soon rada den lada. We shoo' hans an say goobye.
I definitely think that programs through education should be available for children that speak AAE. They should have the same rights as we all do and deserve an education. I think there should be classes taught just as ESL courses. We should not overlook this issue, but rather do something about it.

YES WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I agree AAE speaking children should not be overlooked anymore. America needs to implement programs to help these children learn Standard American English to give them a chance to succeed and to help our society move forward in many areas.

I totally agree that we should have the same opportunities and we all should do something about it

I agree that AAE should be looked at more in depth within the general public; rather than prompting the idea of repressing it and leaving it behind. It is just as valuable as any other dialect in this nation and it enhances and stimulates the creative junctures of that particular speech group. It also helps others to better understand AAE's cultural backgrounds and the peoples of that dialect.
