I don think we should be forcing students to know ¨Standard American English¨. I feel like that is silencing their voice based off of what their background and culture may be. Especially when English is their second language, they may feel more confident speaking or writing in another language.

When I do code switch, its when I'm like talking to my bestfriend compared to a stranger, I'm more formal to someone I don't know, than that of a person I'm close with.

I do not think school should enforce "standard american english", because that silences the fact that many students come from different backgrounds, some being that english isn't even their first language.

I think schools should allow students to talk in whatever way they feel most comfortable with. Foster already is very welcoming and diverse and students still know how to respect each other and teachers, so who does it hurt?

I don't think schools and teachers should enforce ¨Standard American Language¨. Some people aren't fluent at english and it could be there 2nd language which could make things more difficult. I feel like teaching students ¨Standard American Language¨ would do good but enforcing it onto students isn't the best plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think schools and teachers should care as much because for a lot of students, English is not their first language, making it unfair when they're being graded on a scale of "Standard American Language." All of the students' uniquenesses, including their ways of communication, expression, and interaction, should be valued a lot more often in schools instead of pushing an American narrative.

I don't think teachers and schools should enforce the use of "standard english" but it should be common to talk in a mannerly way and it's important but it shouldn't take away how other people generally talk even if it is "broken english"

# data[].attributes.body
I code-switch frequently throughout the day, depending on who I am talking to. At school, I'll tend to be more formal than usual, especially when talking to teachers or other peers. At home, my way of communication is still somewhat formal when communicating with family, but it differs from school because English is not my family's first language so I have to alter how I interact with them.

I dont believe schools and teachers should "care" so much about enforcing "Standard American English", while its important to know "Standard English" it shouldnt be diminishing to other ways people speak English.

I think teachers should not be enforcing standard american language because it has no real importance when you think about it.

I code switch with my friends, teachers, and parents. I speak a different language at home and speak differently with teachers compared to with my friends.

Code switching has become a daily habit of my life, getting home i speak spanish differently to my mom than to my siblings while when I'm at school its mostly english depending on who I'm with is whether it'll be formal or not

I don't think schools and teachers should care so much about enforcing "Standard American English". Many people speak different languages and I think it's important for everyone to be able to freely speak in whatever language they want.

I code switch depending on my peers like when I am around my parents I am comfortable enough to talk to them how I usually talk and same goes with my friends but I talk to them with this generation's slang. In public or when I am meeting someone new I talk in a more mannerly way and talk in what you would call "Standard English". I would say depending on your environment it could impact the way you talk and the culture of where you come from or live .

code switching is defined as the use of more than one language simultaneously in conversation.so i really liked jamila lysicott's poem about using code swiching in different ways.

Language is taught at foster but that only depends if you take a language class. You will have the choice between spanish and french and if you choose one of them you will be taught "language".

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think schools should enforce "standard american english" because not everyone's first language is english . although i've been speaking english for a long time , sometimes my spanish comes out . We also are not surrounded by just one language so sometimes it becomes confusing to speak "standard american english".

Code- switching is very normal for me for example when im talking to friends or family I talk very broken english, but when im at school I talk professionally/ Standard form english.

Should schools and teachers "care" so much about enforcing "Standard American Engish?" To what end?

Yes, I beive it is important in a professional environment but only to that extant. I feel as if "Standard American English" will help with job interviews, papers. etc. So it is important but not so much that we should restrict how we talk in class.

# data[].attributes.body
No I don't think teachers/schools should care but I do think they can teach it instead of enforcing it on people who don't want to to speak or write in Standard American English.

# data[].attributes.body
We don't really punish people for speaking in "improper" English, I feel like we should be able to express our thoughts in whatever forms we want. That includes different languages, too. The only time improper English may hurt us is assessments in English class.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers shouldn't care as much enforcing standard american english because its something that might be so important for every person and with forcing someone to speak a different can put disrespect on the ways others talk.

I feel that language taught in this highschool is pretty free and open, rarely code switch,

# data[].attributes.body
I code-switch pretty often in my daily life. Talking to parents or teachers is obviously very different then talking to friends, I say this is because of respect levels. I also say I code-switch with different friend groups depending on their humor and whatever we have in common and talk about most eiht each-other.

# data[].attributes.body
I code-switch everyday. I usually code-switch during school and at home depending who I am interacting with. For ex when I talk to my parents it'll be different from the way I talk to my friends especially because of the language barrier between them. When I talk to an adult/teacher I code-switch since I talk in a more formal way.

How do we honor other ways of speaking/writing at foster? we honor other ways of speaking/writing here at foster by offering translators when speaking to student families or when teachers hand out papers a parent needs to sign they tend to offer or ask if you'd like it in another language.

I dont think schools should be inforcing "standered american english". They should let us express ourselves in our own way.

i code switch when i am at home,school and i mostly code switch at home with my family and relative that visit or in my neighborhood.

I think that foster honors "other" ways of speaking because many people talk differently and the fact that were even teching this in class I think proves that as there are other schools that would be a lot more conservative as people even talk.

Schools should not enforce "Standard American English", but it should be taught to students.

I am similar to the lady in the poem because I code switch a lot with my friends, family, and at school. I am articulate like her.

In my life I code switch a lot. I code switch when I'm talking to different people. So, an example would be that I don't talk to my parents the same way I talk to my friends.

I could switch when I talk to my parents and when I talk to my friends.

How often do you code-switch in your life? I code switch everyday. Whether that be when I'm at work and have to use my "customer service voice" when interacting with guests. Or even when i'm at school and and I have to talk to teachers and my peers. Another big one is how I talk to my close friends and family, and the comfortability I have with them in comparison to anyone else.

Language at Foster is mostly Standard American English, more ¨formal¨ I guess. Although, some teachers do code switch and talk in a more comfortable way. I code-switch a lot when I'm talking to teachers/elders and when I'm talking to my friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I code switch whenever I am around different friend groups, or groups of people I hang around. I would speak in different ways, make jokes according to their "style" of humor, etc.

How often do you code-switch in your life?
I code switch really often weather if it is with my family, which mostly speak Viet. Or in school if I am talking to a teacher I would talk more professionally while if its another student it is casual.

I think schools and teachers shouldn't have to enforce "standard american english" because it is something that is not worth important to enforce.

The way i talk changes between people at school , my age , And family . When i first meet someone i try to give off a good impression . As they get to know me i show them a little more of me .

I feel like we all code switch in a daily bases. Most of us arent going to speak to our parents the same way we talk to our friends. I know I often code switch. Especially at home where I use a differnet langauge and im more proper.
