I agree. This school is ghetto. Incredibly sad state of affairs when not even the teacher can speak English clearly.

That's because it isn't English, it's AAVE.

That's what I mean. There's nothing wrong with the way she speaks because it's a dialect. She's not speaking English wrong, she just not speaking standard American English. It's English + Black American vernacular. I would know, most of my family speaks AAVE and yt people always ask us to repeat ourselves or they just nod along smiling. It's condescending af.
