I would never have known English wasn't your first language if you hadn't pointed it out. You write it nearly impeccably.

I'll continue to assert that whether or not that approach is successful, that approach shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
How do those who 'speak' Ebonics (I'm not really sure how to phrase that) not have an existing mastery of a language? If they are able to communicate universally amongst a particular group of people, that constitutes a mastery. They are in no way at a linguistic disadvantage in comparison to anyone else.
