Deviency with what? A single model of the English language? Who decides? You can't teach unless you communicate. Communicate first. Teach proper american english next.

Nothing is being defined down.

Rigid thinking about the language (which is many languages, always changing) isn't working for conservatives.

Again... which version of English are you pushing for?

Same thing as the GOP-E. They don't want to realize they can't automatically blame someone else because what they are doing doesn't work.

They are rigid in their thinking, and don't bother to teach.

Your order is wrong. Children can't communicate until they have the skills. Your approach is the same as the approach to mathematics, which has -- and continues -- to fail miserably.

You don't teach "communicating" first. What you do first is lay down the fundamentals. Once children's language skills are developed, which happens as their other cognitive skills advance, they can begin to dialog.

The cart goes behind the horse, not in front of it.

Your advocacy is for a world of ignoramuses. You can enjoy living there, but serious people won't be living there with you and the rest of the cavemen. We've been there. We've evolved. Atavism is for liberals, and you're surrendering.
