>Kids can bastardize the English language all they want on their own time, but should still be held to some standard (ie: comprehensible) form in school.<
Yes, I also support this idea, I also have classmates (9th grade) who still use words like : sux, stupid, rulez, ownez, lotsa, dumb....... in their essays.
In the whole classroom, the only people who write in standard are me, and another friend of mine, and I'm not even a native english speaker, pains me to see people who dont even bother or care to speak, and write their mother language correctly......
