Accent, Dialect and the School is an attempt to discuss certain educational problems connected with language, using results from sociolinguistic research and concepts from linguistics generally. The main thesis of the book is that the language of normal children is not incorrect, slovenly or inadequate, and that teachers should encourage children to develop linguistic confidence and articulateness rather than concentration on 'bad grammar' and 'careless pronunciation'
