I voluntered @ the all age school `1 yr and noted that the teachers do not speak proper english. i asked if the exam is written in patois...it is not. These children start out with a deficeit not hearing words spoken properly. As a child I had to go to speech class because I could not say the word "scream" correctly. I later noted that I said the word the same way my mother said it...improperly, because that is what i heard.
