 In Jessica Whitney's article,"Five Pieces: Steps toward Integrating AAVE into the classroom", she argues that teachers should value students' first language to help student become more effective rheoricians. Many people are still very confused about AAVE and how it should be interpreted in the classroom and daily life. As Bill Cosby said," You can't be a doctore with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!" (qtd. in Coates par.4). Which explains that people still see AAVE as a language of less intelligence than of Standard English. Whitney also describes how ignorance still hides our faces on how AAVE is affected in the classroom. Ignorance is specific in cultures and languages, which show how our judgement expresses that those who speak Standard English is better than another. Being able to educate ourselves will help connect language and setting aside our ignorance and give our lives more variety and culture. 

The key issue that is explained is what exactly can AAVE be described as. In the beginning of the article who asks herself and the audience " What exactly is AAVE?". The relationship between how the public feels about ebonics and the field's is that the public is very ignorant and misguided on what exactly AAVE is. Many still believe that AAVE is very inappropiate and a unintelligent way of speaking. Where as the field is trying to explain that AAVE is not slang and it has alot of culture and diversity in it. This article was a way to show people that teaching students AAVE in the classroom will broaden their horizons in anything that they do.

In conclusion, AAVE and people's inablility to correctly describe still leads to a wrong understanding of the term. This misunderstanding leads from elementary to college level classes where students and teachers still feel that Black English is inappropriate for discussion and even writing in it. How unclear the subject is never going to make teaching AAVE in the classroom any easier.
