I absolutely agree with you that being able to speak mainstream (or upper class) English is a useful skill. I just think it should be presented as "a different dialect that helps you start out with the respect people who have the power to grade, hire, or promote you" as opposed to "talking right."

And I'm also impressed with the new physics major at UF.
