Teaching Standard English Response

This article was interesting because it talked about how kids grow up being always corrected when they speak or write anything and they don't receive as much positive as they do negative. The article talks about how there is a "correct" way of writing and speaking. When the author was a child, she was constantly corrected for her speech problems and it was discouraging.  I agree with her that there should not be a standard way of learning English. Everyone should learn the basics of it, but we all speak it differently.
