Dear Mike,
The example you gave doesn't specify whether the student mentioned as
having problems is an "English language learners." Any chance that is
the case? It would affect a diagnosis/analysis of what might be going
on.
And, of course, we don't even identify African American speakers of
Ebonics or low-income white students as "English language learners,"
though we might, with regard to "standard academic English" that
overwhelmingly reflects white, educated, middle/upper middle class
language dialects and registers.
Just curious.
In Peace,
K.
