Why Our Discourse are Not Accepted?

Why are we writing white? Why is there a professor telling how to write? Why can’t we write the way we feel? Why our discourse are being pushed away?

In english classes, we are being taught how to write formal way or to be more specific “white”. Writing the white way and not letting students write the way they want to express is taking away the students persona. Once children start school they start teaching them how to write the formal way and it does not seem like a problem. But once those children grow up as a student not all realize how we have been taught to only write “formal” and no other way. If a student does not follow up with the rules they writing is wrong and there paper is consider as a bad grade. Like in SRTOL, he talks and agree with the fact that students should all be able to write in their discourse and have teachers trained to understand each student’s writing.

If the teachers would understand and let students write in their own discourse students wouldn’t have such difficulty trying to fit in into another discourse. Trying to write the way they are being told too just pushes the students away from their discourse. Is like trying to get in their heads that their discourse does not matter and there should be only one kind of writing.

The “America” formal writing is being expected in almost everywhere. Such as when you are trying to apply for a job, interview, meetings, etc. The discourse of “white” comes up because we are taught that that is the way to speak with others if not you are uneducated. This country is controlled by the whites and if you don’t learn and speak or write the discourse you are not consider to be inside the white discourse.
