A sad commentary on society - but I'm none too surprised, 'Reap as you sow'. As a group and as a profession, teachers don't put the effort in, they don't set the standard - they use the same crap and allow the same crap being used in exams, school work etc.
Teachers argue that the 'agenda' is being set by technology, advertisers and the users - i.e. by society. Maybe the are right. If we control it and set standards in Oz will that stop the debasing of the language in America, Chinese 'English', Indian 'English'?
Ah, we all doomed - the sky is falling
