"Teachers can affirm the varieties represented by students in class, and as
students become more and more cognitively aware, they can benefit from
understanding the contrasts and affirming them as language differences not to be
looked down on. only in this way the classrooms become the ideal setting to
affirm the importance of home dialect and its appropriate use within the
community in which it is spoken while at the same time students are taught the
standard variety."
