I went for a job in a school and at the interview was told by the interviewer that the fact that standardised English was not taugtht in schools was "short-changing the kids" as "no CEO in a multi-national firm speaks with a regional accent." Unfortunately he's right , especially when many of us have problems with 'real' English accents.
