Status Updates From The Skin That We Speak

if we don't believe in our students, who will?

i love linguistics! so fascinating

im absolutely LOVING this. the way we use and teach language in the classroom is soooo important

so extremely sad yet eye opening

College grammar class changed my perspective: there is no "wrong" grammar... Rather, there are different kinds of grammar. I like the start of this book, with its discussion of the 'Ebonics' movement and how it has affected school children. That by denying a child's language, we are denying them as a person. That we must connect with the child to connect with their language. It is a lot to think about already.
