The word “ain’t” has it uses. Song writers use it when they need a one syllable word for “is not” or “isn’t” as in, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing (do dah do dah do dah).”
Proper grammar usage by the parents will do a lot more for a child’s grammar than any amount of memorizing “grammar rules” in an English textbook. Take it from me. My family used proper English, and I was able to get by on any English test just by selecting the option which “sounded right.” Isn’t Grandma being diligent about correcting the kids when they don’t “talk good?”
