Acquisition of Literate Discourse: Bowing before the Master?
Delpit, Lisa D.
Theory into Practice, v31 n4 p296-302 Fall 1992

Educators who are committed to teaching all students can help such students transcend their home language, acquire a secondary discourse, and succeed in mainstream schools without losing respect for their home culture.
