The headteacher of a Black Country school has defended banning the local dialect from classrooms, saying it will help raise literacy standards.
John White said the school had decided to ban the dialect from lessons or otherwise put at risk the future prospects of its 600 pupils.
The measure, which came into force at Colley Lane Community Primary School in Halesowen at the start of the term, is accompanied by a guide explaining to parents the reasons for the ban.

Well, I think I agree with the headmaster. In the playground all children have ways of talking to each other which are largely unintelligible to others. In the classroom however they have to learn to communicate in perceived English. Otherwise when they tread that minefield called life they will be lost.
Most air traffic control is in English, and even pilots and crew from far afield are ineligible to each other and more important air traffic control anywhere in the world

They can work hand in hand as long as children know when to use one and not the other - it is that simple.
