Well as for everyone here, I completely understand both sides of the argument.

As for what I think would be a great solution, might not be plausible for many. I believe the first thing we should do as Haitians for Haiti should be, we should use the word equality more often, as is part of the credo.

We need some type of equality that defines a great sense of togetherness.

Arguing about what the official language should be is part of the problem.

Haitians as a whole are very stereotypical, and for that simple problem lies very difficult resolution.

When I was living in Haiti, I read, wrote, and spoke french only at school, mainly because I was getting an education greater than my guardians that lived in the house.

For that reason, creole was spoken in the house, where many weren't educated enough to practice french with me. This I believe is the main reason that creole is widely spoken rather than french.

Also I think it is easier to progress with french than creole.

For an educational purpose, it is easier to get books in french for learning, from many different countries, than it is the manufacture creole books.

That is a stupid thought to reinvent the wheel rather than take it a step further.

french is already in mass existence and creole is not. Why waste many years trying to create books for a language that is spoken mostly in a tiny country in contrast to the world.

Adapt a language that is supported widely and that is readily available academically.

We should stop arguing and teach the children french not creole.

creole will not benefit them in the world market.

French is already available in Haiti and the world.

we should take that as a guidance and unify the country into accepting french not creole as the smarter option for mass communication.

please feel free to ask me any questions or rebuttals, i do not get offended with others opinion.

thanks
