Many culturally disadvantaged black children speak a variety of English which linguists have labeled “nonstandard Negro dia- lect. ’’ Educators agree that the most significant education prob- lem is to teach these children standard English; the age or grade level when this should be done, however, is controversial. The thesis of this paper is that disadvantaged black children should not be taught standard English until adolescence or the secondary grades. The paper specifically discusses some of the reasons standard English instruction should be delayed. The thesis is sup- ported by discussing the difficulties of young children in learning another dialect of a language (because of the subtle differences between standard English and nonstandard Negro dialect); the diffi- culties of using second language instructional techniques (this is the only approach likely to be successful); and, the lack of a need and consequently motivation, for young disadvantaged black chil- dren to learn standard English.
