[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I be concerned that one of the home room teachers at my kid's Big 3 Elementary School class says "aks" instead of "ask"?[/quote]

Does that make you classist, or racist?  Well, that depends.  [i]Suppose that your child's teacher said "y'all" and dropped her letter "l"s from the end of words like "pool".  But she was a beautiful, preppy sorority type who had attended Nashville's elite Harpeth Hall (or Charleston's Ashley Hall) prep school, and later graduated from the University of Alabama, where she had been a Crimson Tide Cheerleader.   Would you be "concerned", or would you be "really happy" to have your child taught by such a "sweet" teacher[/i][b]?[/quote]

The fact that no one has responded to the above example is telling.[/quote]

I'll bite.  The y'all bit doesn't really matter to me (as that is clearly southern dialect), but I would not be happy spending $35K a year to have some dumb ass cheerleader teach my kid. [/quote]
