Follow the pier @ AlterPresse Under Haiti problem, there is a big fight for and own language. But a teacher who called Michel DeGraff with a bold plan to settle the matter. DeGraff working as linguistics professor at the Institute of Technology Masachousèts (Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "MIT")
When DeGraff was a young boy in Haiti, his older brother returns from a school with a separate policy, to students and parents to remember school rules. At top of the list was: "Woe weapons". Just now, DeGraff the pier remember what was written the pier right after: "There is talk Creole". Students should speak French and French only.
It was like that everywhere in the country. [E at most schools [2]] is hence always, though in fact most growing child in Haiti, Creole is only their voice, they speak only Creole. Creole is the language the pier most spoken is the language most people hear where they reside, nor home, nor the music, nor the proverb, and in jokes, etc.. But since they enter school, they want to force them into using a language they do not know. French is the language minority groups that led the country to speak. What do reverse problem and French for children belonging the pier small lelit this.
But for the others, forced to use French cause [most of them [3]] almost can not learn anything. Many students the pier just keep quiet in class, not talking. According to Ministry the pier of Education calculations, the pier is less than a third of students entering first grade elementary school through sixth grade, and only 10 to 100 students who started high school successful test at the end of school.
A problem quite language school may seem a small problem before other disease Haiti have. For example: earthquakes iron country, hunger is triple twist his community, the major weakness of the policy and acts of abuse that occurred repeatedly during the past 200 year history.
DeGraff said: "Haiti the pier will never be failing to provide if there are 90 to 100 Haitian not instructed how to be instructed the pier to. Since this open reservoir, what can happen? Not either one of the things that could happen ... Calculate how well prepared we would have greater brain will try to resolve the country. "
Now DeGraff the pier is a linguistics professor at MIT. It will use its influence to have it break the barriers that stood in the way primary education true for most children in Haiti. During the last three years, he inserts his foot deep in experience and schools serving Creole in Haiti. He worked steadily in both Haiti and the United States to make people accept the good ideas are unusual: For Haitian people settle certain problems our country upside down similar problems without end, to breathe life into the country's economic situation , to recover his foundation, to make progress in the fight against crime and disorder, the Haitian people must change the way he acts and his mother tongue.
Make this happen, is more than a matter of school policy. Haiti is a former French colony. Affairs contempt Creole, this has roots deep in history class standing against each other in the country. Although Creole and French are 2 similar language, Creole younger than the French, Creole developed in this island has a 300 years hence while French came coordinates closely with other body language. Creole has his own grammar, spelling and pronunciation of his his. But since dates Haitian Creole began speaking, people regarded as inferior language, a language the pier that lack, a small species of French addiction, a spoiled French, a language that makes people who speak it not mixed with other people on earth. Linguists (ie, scientists who study the language specialist) is now seen as a Creole language is imminent, as a language who hold his tongue. Despite this, there is a thought of deep contempt of diversity the pier in society for Haitian Creole until today, even among those who speak languages other than Creole. This idea spread in the population: sizes, for someone handed something in life, to get good jobs, and the people in society, it must know French. [4]
There is a movement to change these ideas since 1960 glass. But DeGraff, who has 48 years, also recently emerged as a leader among men, although this is not official. These words Alix Cantave, founder of Haitian Studies Association UMass Boston (University of Massachusetts, Boston): "Michel returned scholars head this movement, certainly."
DeGraff makes war 2 where. In Haiti, put on his work with children and doing research
