There's been plenty of research showing that the idea that a nonstandard dialect of English is just someone being "lazy" or "sloppy" and that you can turn them into standard English speakers by just berating them to work harder is tremendously damaginghttps://twitter.com/ijbailey/status/1285932872138883072 …

The point of "Ebonics" education wasn't to teach the whole curriculum in "Ebonics" and never speak Standard English It was to treat AAVE as its own language and treat learning Standard English as a second language, no different than teaching a Spanish speaker English

You don't interrupt someone with "DOESN'T, not don't", you let them finish their original statement in AAVE and then *translate* it into Standard English with the two sentences side by side There's nothing controversial about this unless you consider AAVE itself a shameful thing
