“It is important to make students conscious of the fact that there are different ways of speaking, in order to avoid judgements based on ways of speaking,” according to an insert instruction to teachers in what appears to be an early grade-school textbook.
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s president on Monday defended the apparent insertion of what teachers have long considered grammatical errors into school textbooks.
Despite decades of censure by teachers and grammarians, the verb forms persist in Mexico, generally in poorer and less-educated neighborhoods. The verb forms are not tied to any particular region or ethnic group. “The fact that the formal education system recognizes, legitimizes, promotes things that are learned informally on the street or at home is worrisome,” said José Antonio Cabello, of the activist group “Suma Por la Educación.”
