'Teared' for 'tore.' 'Maked' for 'made.' 'Drawed' for 'drew.'
I see and hear this ALL the time.
You must live in the south as well lol.
I work retail and I hear this so much. It gets even more infuriating when I hear young children using these words, and the parents failing to correct them. It makes me wonder what on earth teachers are even doing nowadays.

I seriously doubt if teachers are instructing children to speak like that.
Instead, this is a case of those kids hearing such utterances from their parents, and simply parroting it.
It is very difficult for teachers to nullify whatever takes place in the home, be it language mistakes, or negative behaviors.

Ohhh no no no, I'm not saying the teachers are teaching them; more so I wish the teachers would correct them if they use those "words" (if we can call them that) in school. Sorry for the confusion!
The State of Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles, Title Section has an official form for situations when a person or company is known by two names. Form# DR2421 is the State of Colorado "Statement of One in the Same". It has two blank lines separated by "and", followed by "are one in the same", with a check box for "person" or "company".
The form has been in use since at least 2006. Has no one told them in the last nine years that they got the phrase wrong?
Sigh...
It would probably cost too much to correct. Hopefully they'll get it right next time around.

That is a possibility, or the other possibility is that nobody in that state agency who knows how to express himself/herself in correct English has actually looked at the form.
In my school district (in the days before computerized grading forms), the paper form that home instructors would fill-out to report the grades of their home-bound students had spaces for two grades. One was labeled "Academic", and the other one was labeled "Attidtude" .
It wasn't until one of my students was receiving home instruction that I finally got to view one of those forms, and I immediately phoned the Board of Ed's Department of Special Services to report this appalling misspelling. The secretary to whom I spoke asked me, "Are you sure that it is misspelled?" She then added, "I'm the one who created the form a few years ago, and it looks okay to me".
My response was, "I'll hold on while you get a dictionary". A couple of minutes later, she returned and admitted that the word "attitude" was misspelled. However, she then added that they had to use-up a few hundred of these forms until such time as they could be re-ordered with the correct spelling.
So, it is entirely possible that the Colorado form hasn't yet been viewed by anyone in the agency who would actually know that the verbiage is wrong.
Your gonna have the gut the entire school board and any thing to do with it to ever get any where. Not keep paying off the under qualified use less individuals you hired previous, to keep giving advice that didn't work in the first place.
Wonder why the district does not have money to educate there kids they Waste money on paying a animate for a job she did not even get why is this is it a race issue.

"Those sandwiches on the last picture look discussing!"
