On a more general note, I have seen a lack of emphasis in public schools on the proper use of the English language. I went to a school assembly for "meet the teacher" and the principal ended several sentences with "at", as in "where the assembly will be at". That makes my skin crawl when I hear a professional educator mangle the language. Sister Consolata, my 1st grade teacher, was a perfectionist, as was Sr. Bertil in 2nd, Sr. Alcantara in 3rd...etc. I'm still afraid of nuns to this day, but at least they taught me how to speak and write cogently.
