	Received Pronunciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Received Pronunciation (RP) is a form of pronunciation of the English language which has been the prestige British accent (see prestige dialect).
		Received Pronunciation was also sometimes referred to as the Queen's English, as it is spoken by the Queen or BBC English as it was traditionally used by the BBC.
		Historically the most prestigious British educational institutions (Oxford, Cambridge, many public schools) were located in England, so those who were educated there would pick up the accents of their peers.

		These schools do not appear to have been scholastically the very worst in the city, but they may well be the lower end of the spectrum of those schools that should be "saved" at all.
		While the school district was trying to solve the problems it thought the public wanted solving, it delegated the challenge of raising student achievement to the schools and individual principals.
		The tendency of school system officials to hoard surplus schools, (some for less than academic reasons), together with the possessiveness of local school activists (some with less than academic motivations) are causing the diversion of large sums that could be better utilized to fund a much smaller, much more modern, set of schools.

	Received Pronunciation
		A pronunciation of British English, originally based on the speech of the upper class of southeastern England and characteristic of the English spoken at the public schools and at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
		During the 19th century, it became the accent of public schools, such as Eton and Harrow, and was soon the main sign that a speaker had received a good education.
		The old public school accent could not be called RP these days if the term is to have any meaning - it is certainly not the standard for teaching English to foreign learners.

	Effective Hours After School
		It is not a coincidence that schools with the lowest test scores are concentrated in low socioeconomic neighborhoods where parents don’t have the time or resources to provide for extracurricular activities.
		They should strengthen public school communities by playing a critical role in improving academic achievement, providing physical activity and engaging the interests of children, as well as keeping children off the streets and in safe, enriching environments where they are challenged to grow, learn and build meaningful relationships with caring adults.
		The result is children who enter middle school with adequate literacy skills, bonded to their peers, teachers and their education, with a much higher likelihood of staying in school and contributing positively to our communities.

	Standard Speech
		Ripman expresses a strong belief that the pattern of English pronunciation found in Jones's book should be recognized as the pronunciation standard for all speakers of the language.(2) Daniel Jones disagrees, emphatically.
		Thus the constant public debate on good English, on the one right English, is as fruitless an exercise as the hypothetical congressional debate on the ideal height and weight for all adults.
		Evidently the lips and teeth are held stationary for the most part, open just wide enough to let air in for breathing (many Englishmen must breathe through their mouths, otherwise they would not breathe at all) with an occasional sharp pursing of the lips on a syllable which does not call for pursing the lips.

		In the case of parochial schools, they would be forced to teach ideas contrary to their professed beliefs.
