Standard English with Education
The affect that non -standard english has on education are a number of things. One is that teachers think less of you. For Example if you speak in a way that teachers do not understand the teachers might feel,because of the way you speak you are not capable of doing regular school work. Most of that notion is focused on black children. If you come to school speaking standard english in a way that the teacher understands you then teachers, even if you are black or white would feel you are more qualitified to do the work. It is really sad that children of the African American race are judged by the way they speak. Teachers sometimes do not realize that just because you talk a cretain way does not mean that you are incapbable of doing work or stupid.
