Haha! Make them realize how faulty their grammar is by making them read a horrendous book--grammatically. Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk comes to mind.
I myself had (or have, doesn't matter) bad grammar because, first of all, English is not my first language and second, I watched and listen shows that were grammatically wrong (I "is" and you "was" is the new "it" for teenagers). Don't blame them for their bad grammar, blame it on the media. Considering how the media is starting to have a negative impact on society, Fahrenheit 451's prophecy/message may be indeed starting to come to life!
