How many of the kids being tutored can speak their native language fluently? I gladly paid to be taught how to repair phones and now i'm reaping the benefits... Which makes it hard for me to see the benefits of this fuc.kery... |

Hmmmm....clears throat...hmmm....from dressing to our best food(Sunday rice), we learnt from colonisation. It is hypocrisy to baptize your face fully with cosmestics alien to your so-called culture and see something wrong in teaching a child British accent. In my opinion, whatever is what learning must be learnt perfectly! |

Sard: Dear Lunkhead, It is still a very valid point of argument that you lack a proper understanding of when and how to use the word " School'. Kindly take note of the following points : 1. The word ' school ' is not a verb . It is grammatically wrong to say : I SCHOOLED in Harvard. From whom did you learn that 'school ' is a verb in this context? SMH 2. The word 'school' applies basically as the COLLECTIVE for FISH when it is understood that they swim together. That's why you could say : A SCHOOL OF FISH. Got this? When & How To Verbalise the word "SCHOOL". Gerunds come to mind. When you add 'ing' to a verb it does not merely become a noun except when properly used to do what nouns do. ING. 1. SCHOOLING the new horses is time consuming ( How does this sound? Incorrect? Hell no ! It is absolutely correct. The word 'school ' is used as a noun by adding 'ing'. So avoid this pitfall! 2. I SCHOOLED myself to be compassionate. ( I have deliberately used the word 'school ' as a verb to mean that I taught myself the virtue of compassion) Education is in a state of infirmity in this country. SMH 1 Like 1 Share |

English accent is overhyped ,the welsh accent is better plus they're only being taught the stereotypical 'porsche' British accent I presume,if you go to the UK you'll find out accent varies from city to city with various dialects but if parents decide to want that for their kids it's nobodies business I'm certain most people criticizing would want that for their kids but they're just pissed cos they can't afford it,people here talking about inferiroity complex and low self esteem,we Africans all have inferiority complex and slave mentality,we worship and adore the white man what's new? it'll take another 1,000 years to free us from the shackles. 1 Like |

jhubril: Stop writing gibberish, young man. Writing lengthy, meaningless paragraphs won't justify your argument. You're not an authority in determining what's wrong or right in English language. So, if you think you've any point, attach links or screenshots supporting your stance just like I did when I "schooled" you on the use of "school" as a verb. By the way, calling people names doesn't mean you're better than them. It only shows you're not intellectually sound enough to hold civil discussions. 6 Likes |

The truth is that accent is not a yardstick to speak good enlish language. If you have ever visited the UK, you ll find out that some Brits has poor gramatical control of the English Language. The funny thing is that the parent are not worried if the grammar is correct, all they are after is accent ; what a shame. In language there will always be accent and that tells others where exactly you are from. An American has an accent (you won't say they speak bad English Language with their accent) likewise Australians, Newzealand, Irish etc [/b]What is important is for one to pronounce the word correctly so that others will understand what you meant/mean.[b] Accent is what you pick from environment , society etc Even if they are being taught brit accent in school they ll find it difficult to communicate in the society because the locals ll find it hard to comprehend what they are saying. A Russian ll speak and construct English grammar correctly with a Russian accent, and a native brits /American ll understand him and that is the aim, in as much as you pronounce your words properly and use the correct tense where necessary you are 100% better than some one with fake accent and poor command of the English Language.

USA was once a colony of Britain, yet they developed their own English and their own accent. The Southern USA accent popularly called "Southern drawl" was influenced by African slaves. UK has regional accents. A certain Minister of a certain African country speaks East London accent. Queen's Accent does not teach knowledge of Self or Knowledge of Knowledge of one's History. Our problem is Knowledge that is missing in textbooks. The same Neocolonialism that makes people sell their belongings to cross the Sahara Desert into Libya makes people chase after these accents in search of "development". 2 Likes |
