24. There is no such thing as black English and people need to stop saying

The majority of African Americans reject this notion of "Black English". If students are taught casual or slang with use with friends and formal English for business there would be no need to invent reasons for misuse. Jeantel is and ESE student with a learning disability. The court does not recognize that. ESE students have many federal regulations that protect them. They are often issued special diplomas that take into account their learning disability. These students are often mainstreamed into classrooms with average and high performance students because parents lobbied for it and felt they could benefit from the immersion. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Jeantel reacted to the level for which her disability allows her to communicate. Maybe there is also some dyslexia present.
