A students right to their own language... When I hear this, it makes me think of my friends. I talk to many different groups of people, and they all talk a little differently and use different words when referring to stuff, or different phrases. However, it is all still English, its not like theyre making up their own language or speaking a different language. I suppose this ties into the dialect portion of the article, all my friends talk in dialects that differ from each other. The phrase right to their own language, I feel like means that everyone should be able to speak with their own style. Everyone should be able to put their own flare into how they talk. It's part of what makes them, them, its a personality trait in away. I agree that students should be able to have a right to their own language. For instance how I am writing this blog would not be how I would have a conversation with my friends on the street. So, yes you can read what I'm saying, but are you really getting a feel for who I am? I think it would make writing a lot more interesting if we could write in the dialects in which we talk.
