In addition, Delpit asserts that teachers must educate black students about the laws of power while accepting individual differences, which is similar to Orr's view. This relates to a collaboration between students of color and adults who reflect their culture within the context of significant communication undertakings. According to Perry (1998), language heterogeneity or Ebonics resolution impacts linguistically varied students' educational environments; also, it presents options for substitutes that individuals may employ in different contexts and further limit negative attitude to achieve systematic language and the standard code (Perry, 1998).

Orr's method is responsive to cultural differences. Verbal conflation is significant, as is shown in one of her instances while determining the distance between Cleveland and Washington. She assesses a few collaborative programs designed to he...
