> I don't think schools should start teaching street talk. Why not? It would help understanding how many people talk. This kind of snobbery can be seen in Canada. Many English-speaking Canadians have to take some years of French schooling. However, due to whatever the opposite of "cultural Marxism" (edit: okay, the opposite of "nihlism", per your own edit) is, English Canadians are mostly taught the prestige dialect of France, which is not nearly as useful to Canadians as learning how Quebeckers actually talk would be. Sure, the prestige French dialect isn't completely useless either, but without this linguistic snobbery we could be doing a lot better to understand each other.
