[John-B29415]

I am a student at UNC-Chapel Hill who is not Latino, but who has studied Spanish and traveled to Latin America. I also feel that 'Spanglish' dialects of Spanish/English are definitely viable languages. Also, I think the reason Castillian Spanish is taught is that it is the most universally spoken (or at least understood) form of Spanish and is what is needed to be successful in the business/professional community. This is the same with teaching standard American English in high school. It does not mean the other forms are wrong, but to be successful in this world, it is generally necessary to be able to speak in the standard dialect.
