[quote=Anonymous]One of the more economically impactful steps that DCPS could take is to provide basic elocution lessons for a lot of its students. The stark truth is that many DCPS students don't know how to speak well. Speech is frequently slurred, mumbled, badly enunciated, and often is street slang. I'm sorry if that offends someone's idea of cultural sensitivity and inclusion. To be frank, there is no room in my business -- and I suspect this is also the case with most offices -- to include anyone who can't communicate clearly and effectively. DCPS could alter the economic prospects of many at risk kids and other poor students if it thought them to speak in intelligible sentences in standard American English. [/quote]
