to be bothered by a teacher saying

[argeybargey]

'i've took ' rather than 'I've 'taken' ? )

also that something is 'broke' (not broken) and that she has 'give' somebody something (rather than 'given') ?

Fully qualified teachers that is. I have heard this kind of thing a few times now through my work travels.

-I don't give a toss how people speak in everyday world so don't start accusing me of being a snob because i am not. I am not always on the ball with everything on the speech front either.And just because i have noticed that some teachers are speaking in a way that I do not please do not jump on me as being judgemental as i am not being. it is just that i was taught one way and that wasn't it, so i am just wondering if less emphasis or importance is placed on this kind of thing nowadays ?

... i just have a niggling feeling that it must be hard to teach a child (or a classroom of children) how to construct a sentence correctly (as in ,in a manner that would not get you marked down in an english language exam ?)(and yes, i know that my grammar isn't perfect either)

-or is this normal and considered ok now, standards wise ?? This is a genuine question.

I went to a fairly strict school where this kind of thing would have been highlighted straight away.
can someone enlighten me if this is just how things have changed now ??

YANBU - it is an issue.

as alroight gal we all talk lyke dat round ere

YANBU - that is pretty shoddy.

Everything seems to dumb downed now. I really hate somethinK and everythinK.

I don't think it is appropriate in a classroom setting. However I also dont think it is common amongst teachers either.

YANBU. I would be a bit despairing at this too. Surely these basic things are highlighted during training?

YANBU and I speak as a teacher. I hate the dumbing down of language in the media, especially on programs targetted at children. I have never heard any colleague speaking as described in the OP so I don't imagine it's common.

OP, my advice would be to speak to the teacher first, because I do think some young people use this dumbed down way of speaking in a misguided attempt to "get down with the kids" [yuck]. If you get no joy there, speak to the head.

unless it's Mademoiselle Dupont, I think YA definitely NBU

Have just properly read your OP and you're not talking about your DC's teacher, just some that you've come across "through your work travels". Are you sure they speak this way in the classroom, cos believe me the way I speak in meetings/breaks/training in very different to the way I speak in class.

YANBU. During my teacher training I had to clamp my mouth shut as the teacher wrote cat's, dog's etc. How did a teacher of ten years not realise? And then of cours eI couldn't correct every single pupil doing the same thing. Agh.

Ok, i am afraid that i have heard these examples (as re: original post) coming from two different teachers, and regularly at that; not a one off from either of those individuals. If they were teaching my child then I would now feel justified in speaking to the head of the school .Thankfully they are not , as i encountered them through work, but it bothers me that one teacher in particular is now teaching a class of 8 year olds. Surely there must be some awareness within the school concerned that this is not acceptable then ? How come this has not been challenged ?? Aren't head teachers able to challenge these things then ? I do not understand....
