It is the same situation that happened in Taiwan. There are several dialects that speak in Taiwan. In different region, the way or the pronunciation from the people can be different. In addition, people tend to think that person who live in the north part of Taiwan can pronounce more accurately than the people who live in the south part. Also, people will look down on and make fun of someone, if he/she pronounces words with south accent.
As the example present earlier, I believe that this is the problem that not only happened in the United States and Taiwan, but truly happened in every country. Therefore, the best way to solve the problem is that people should change their point of views and their minds to brace, accept different kinds of dialects. Also, they need to learn how to respect different dialects and different culture backgrounds. In schools, teacher should help students to understand the reason why we have different dialects and help them to learn to respect different kinds of people, regions, and culture backgrounds which are present in our everyday lives. If children learn this basic conception in their early childhood, when they grow up, I believe, it will has less prejudice and stereotypes to the people who from the lower social status or ethnic groups.

Finally, I am done! : )
I tried to change your wordings a bit and not to repeat the same words too many times. You know like the word "dialect".
Hey! I am not perfect...I do have writing problems like yours. Maybe a little bit different. I sometimes, got stuck on a middle of the paragraph for a short period of time and came back writing something completely off topic. LOL
From the same situation that happens in Taiwan, in which, people speak several dialects. In various regions, the ways of pronunciation from the people can be very different. In addition, people tend to think that those who live in the northern parts of Taiwan can pronounce more accurately than those who live in the southern parts. Also, there are people who look down on and make fun of those who pronounce words with southern accents.
As the example presented earlier, I believe that this is a problem, in which, not only happens in the United States and Taiwan, but it happens in many countries around the world as well. Therefore, the best way to solve this problem is for people to change their point of views on how they see things and not to judge those that speak differently. Furthermore, they need to learn how to accept the differences in verbal languages and culture backgrounds. In schools, teacher should help students to explore the understanding of reasons on why we have these differences in dialects. Moreover, teachers should also help them learn not to judge and respect those who look different and have different religion or culture backgrounds. If children learn these basic concepts in their early childhoods, then when they grow up, it will have less prejudices and stereotypes on those who come from lower social status or ethnic groups.

This respect travel both ways. You're asking teachers to understand the students. So far, you never mentioned that the other side should respect the teachers. OK, from both sides, there are dialects, but remember teachers are there to teach? And they must be able to catch the words you say in order to understand. Now if everyone speak their own dialect, it'll be like talking in tongue? You must get to the point that it's ok to have your dialect, but it's not to have a hardhead and say "well just understand me no matter what??? Don't you think that it's difficult for them to understand all the accents they encounter, and the slangs they hear and try to correct over and over? It's easy to say ' understand me and I'll sit back, the work is yours? You also need to meet at some point or where is the respect on your part ( and I mean from all races, languages... of students )

That also happens in our country. It's like a front of RACISM.
