But you are incorrect that it has everything to do with a lack of discipline in schools...........the lack of discipline comes from the parents.
I'm going to have to slightly disagree with you on this Gabz.
The public school system has the children embargoed during a very substantial part of each weekday, spending much more time with the child than the working parent(s).
There is a tremendous amount of peer pressure that occurs during the average school day and oftentimes a child will succumb to it (even though they go home and speak properly).
Don't kid yourself that this isn't happening. I see it all of the time.

And where did most of them learn the language? at home
And the same type of peer pressure occurs in private schools.
I see it on a daily basis and my daughter is in public school.
When corrected for using a forbidden word just last week, she looked at me and said "But Jessie says it all the time" her friend Jessie goes to private school - but jessie's parents both swear like sailors.
I am sorry but I can not agree with you that it is all the fault of the public school system and give the parents a pass.
