Yep. That's why I'm fixin' to home school - starting this September. I kin talk right if'n I want to, or I can speak correctly if I so desire; I kin write kinda off the wall if'n I want to, or I can't write in grammatically correct sentences (no diagramming, please!) Kids should be taught English correctly - so they can decide which way to use - not leaving bad grammar to default. JMHO
