I think it makes sense to teach kids the difference between what is acceptable at home versus what is expected of you on a professional level. That being said, I've faced repeated discrimination due to my accent and certain aspects of my dialect. I can't quite decide if it's these kids who have to change, or society's perception of what it is to "sound educated." I have a University degree, and people still treat me like a retard because of my dialect and accent. Is it my fault or theirs? Iono.
Also, it's bloody amazing how confused people were by that article. Even the poster didn't know what it was about. o_o
Jam it back in, in the dark.
