Should students write with their own language

Have you ever felt that you should be able to say whatever you want to say? Maybe you feel like you shouldn’t be restricted on what you can say. There have been quite a few discussions on whether or not students should have the right to what they can say in class and when they are writing. I do believe that students have the right to their own language. You know why? Because I don’t want to limit our generation on what they can say. I feel if students have the permission to write whatever they want they will write more natural and wont feel like they have to robot and do exactly what it is right.

I have had some teachers that just tell me to put down whatever comes to my mind on the paper. To create original ideas and other things. I like it. I do not like when teachers tell me I have to write five paragraphs and have to follow a whole script on how to write.  It makes me feel like my brain cannot wander freely and be able to write well. I like writing, but if I can use my own language and talk free and use my own slang in my writing, ill love it. I wanna be able to write with my own style, talk about something I saw to was so fresh and maybe how shawty was trippin earlier in they day. I just feel like I’m being myself and not what other people want me to be. I feel like it the most important thing, to let writers have their own identity because if they didn’t, everyone would sound the same and books would be boring.
