". . . lack of education opportunities . . ."
Tell that to a teacher if you want to see someone rip their hair out and run off screaming.
This is the UK, Kester was correct, there are no lack of education opportunities in Britain due to poverty.

I was a professional educator working for years with low income communities... And I did psychology and education research. And, i have three degrees related to poverty. What I am saying is extremely well researched.. You can either believe it or continue on with whatever pet hypotheses you have that are based on your own lack of knowledge of the subject.

I was hoping he'd give a clear answer.
He says if we just listen we'll understand. I'm not so sure.
To suggest if you know both implies they are different languages. To suggest just listening is enough implies they aren't different.
I think his answer is a little confused.

I'm sorry but inability to communicate is the biggest cause of all the worlds problems, anyone who creates a new way of speaking to further our communicative divide is a part of the problem in my opinion. We should be moving towards not further from a universal language.

These people are purposely creating a way to talk that's different than the country they live in and way everyone there already speak.
