I agree perfectly with principal at 6:40 but why people take patwa in such a negative light cant we just use both English and patwa in our daily life ( formal school setting. Note the word FORMAL) more importantly we need to let the children of our overseas diaspora be able to speak patwa because a good majority come back being barely able to speak it.
This is nonsense, patois is informal, and should remain so, for we need to be able at a relative level in the wider Jamaica, region and the world. Handicapping our children, how would they read and understand the the text books, yuh pupa, yuh tita.
@@darkdrug5874, Yale? Do you get a college credit for it? UWI, do they have many foreign students? Not other Caribbean students but students from North America and Europe?
@@Happey67 Yes. It is a legitimate course at Yale not a major but a course one could do as an elective. And yes UWI have foreigners not only from North America or Europe but even China. Most colleges have an exchange program
We are now in a global world so we need speak proper grammar. That is the real deal. When I read the Jamaican Star and a commentary is written in patwa I cannot understand it so I do not read it. I left Jamaica as a preteen.
how do i get to watch the full video ?
Is there a part 2?
It is fair to say

Patois is a proper Language
Patwa is not a language but a dialect.
It is a language with it's own grammar and stuff. UWI amd Yale even teach it
