Schools Matter @ the Chalk Face: Pic of a Pearson Edpsych Text. Is This a Problem? I Think It Is.

 

Pic of a Pearson edpsych text. Is this a problem? I think it is.

I saw this posted, a quick grab of a table from an educational psychology text. Not an ELL or linguistics or language arts texts. Educational psychology.

Is it me, or is standard English being pitted against the variations spoken by persons of color? I mean, are all African Americans and Hispanics the same? Are all white persons the same?

This chart does not smell right to me at all. How does something like this make it past editorial review?
