This is because the elaborated code is used within textbooks, by teachers and is the language an examiner expects the child to use within their exam. Early socialisation means middle class children are already fluent using the elaborated code meaning they are more likely to succeed. However, Bernstein recognises that working class children fail because schools fail to teach them how to use the elaborated speech code; not because they are culturally deprived. Bereiter and Engelmann claim that the language used in lower class homes is deficient. They described that working class families use gestures, single word sentences and disjointed phrases when communicating.
The Power of Language Growing up Latino has its prices that we have had to pay for. Back in the1930’s not being able to speak Spanish was looked down upon, not only by our race but by the Anglo society. (Norton, 561) If you spoke Spanish or any other language except for English you were looked down like you were nothing. Being able to speak English appropriately made it easier for you to get a job and people would accept you better and it protected the kids from the evils of prejudice. When I read the article, Se Habla Espanol by Tanya Barrientos, it opened my eyes to something’s that have happened in my heritage.

How does David Crystal win over so much logic and emotion from his audience? Do the rhetorical tools that Crystal uses aid in his overall success of the argument? Crystal is the author of many books on language such as “The Gr8 Db8” which discusses text language and its impact on society. The author’s undermined approach is shown through historical context, statistics and pathos to effectively reveal the mass spread of English, and the potential impact it will have on the world. Crystal connects with the audience to make them realize that something as simple as the language we speak, could have more of an impact on the world than ever imaginable.

That parents stress to children the importance of education all their school lives, but they continue to give money things that are less important, instead they should put money towards the teachers who wants to help make a difference in every child's life. Barber believes that parents should actually display their actions that they care and value their education. He explains who are to blame for the lack of quality education in America. The generations before the young and the government have a partial blame in why the school system is failing. Barber's argument is more superior, because he takes the sociopolitical context of education in to account, where as Henry does not.
Since the English language has prowess over almost the entire world, children tend to be raised speaking their parents’ language at home, and socially speaking only English. As a result, it is no surprise that worldly languages are on a downfall. When a language disappears, the genuine loss is more aesthetic than cultural. The melodious rolling of the ‘r’ in Spanish, or the harsh Russian emphasis on words is what is really lost. Future linguists will make an attempt to read and pronounce the words on a page, but, once the
However, society has come to believe that the color red is harsh and can be demoralizing to students. Our growing politically correct society believes that using “kind colors,” such as purple, will place less stress on children. The general public believes that purple ink will spare kids from an unpleasant life.

The future needs to be thought about while changes and problems are being addressed. The school board and the people within the school systems need to have more caring feelings about those students who are being left behind.
One was the restricted code, this consists of a limited vocabulary with short unfinished grammar, and speech would be predicable they may even gesture instead (slang, street language.) The other code is the elaborate code this is typically used by middle class people; it has a wider vocabulary and is based on longer structured sentences. This would lead to under achievement because the language used in schools and in test papers tend to be in the elaborate code, so middle class people are again at an advantage. Finally, attitudes and values, Feinstein (1998) found that working class parents “lack of interest” was the main reason for their children’s under achievement
