“...anyone still attempting to argue that Ebonics is a problem for black students or that it is somehow connected to a lack of intelligence or lack of desire to achieve is about as useful as a Betamax video cassette player, and it's time for those folks to be retired, be they teachers, administrators, or community leaders, so the rest of us can try to do some real work in the service of equal access for black students and all students.

Thanks for the friend request! I've only read two of River's books. I didn't like The Miracle of Mercy Land at all. Praying for Strangers is the only other one I read.
I should check out Where I was From. Not taken a look at that one. Thanks!
Thanks for the friend-vite, Bill.I am really enjoying Joan Didion's Where I Was From right now and how her family came to California. Very interesting and so enjoyable to read her writing.
You had me at "Duran Duran". There was a time when I was planning on marrying John Taylor (DD base guitar) and name our first child Taylor Nigel Taylor, which is John Nigel Taylor's name with the John replaced....by Taylor. Thankful there is no child with this pitifully redundant name, at least not from any of my doing. Please remember this was a LONG time ago and I was YOUNG. Can't wait for your book to come out in January! kmck
