June and Delpit

Both June and Delpit both talk about education and the differences between a white student and a black student. June speaks of two forms of English, the first being standard English and the second as Black English. Black English is what Junes students speak in class bout can not understand when reading out the book "The color purple". What June says about these two languages is that even though they sound so different both can express the same ideas with the same effectiveness but only if people are willing to accept both are languages. June and the student come to this acceptance but they realize most of the world will not. The true story they write together of a fallen peer goes unheard as the society around them will not tolerate this Black Language.
As for Delpit she focuses more on the learning differences between black children and white. It is not the just language they speak but the culture they are raised in. White teacher's believe black children have no fluency when they speak. This is not true the speak in different ways says Delpit. White children have the skills for "correct speech" so fluency is what is stressed. White families teach this at home in everyday life. The black culture is fluent if you are to listen to it says Delpit but most do not. Black children need to be taught the skills of literacy because that is what they miss at home. White teachers create the standard for teaching but do not see how smart these black children are. The difference is cultures creates a need for differences in teaching.
