I know an elementary school teacher and the teachers at her school received a speech about statements like "I be going to the store" is acceptable speech because the way these kids and their families use that kind of speech follows rules. Rules that actually contradict English, but bc they use that language in a consistent manner it is "acceptable"
EDIT: and therefore they're not allowed to correct it

Yes it's a culture of ignorance that the school is there to remedy. The school should lose whatever licenses it has as an educational institution for simply removing standards.

Can't happen today because writing is paramount, more than ever before. In oral cultures change like this happens all the time--and there's nothing wrong with it.
