Where in the report does it say that they wouldn't be taught standard English. The whole POINT is to teach them standard English.
Currently, they aren't actively taught standard English. It's just assumed they're speaking Englsih incorrectly and that we need to correct them. That's just not effective. Teaching someone to speak a different dialect is a hugely different proposition than teaching someone who uses a few too many double negatives.
