languages

Quote from my Second Language Acquisition class:

"There are a lot of language we don't teach in schools, like, basically all of them."

This was during a discussion of Ebonics and school, responding to another person's comment about the need to teach Ebonics if society is going to acknowledge and value its existence. But it would be nearly impossible to be able to teach every language that walked through school doors.
