in an english class, i would mark ebonics as wrong. if my school offered ebonics, i would not. the point of an english class or an english language writing class is to enhance a student's use of the english language. you aren't doing yr job if you bow to political correctness. yr doing a great disservice to the student. encouraging the school to offer a course in ebonics would be the course of action to follow if you felt that ebonics was a viable skill for a school to dedicate resources to. whenever i used franglais or english in french, i was penalized. why should the same not apply to ebonics?
