They say "this is right", "this is wrong", "the way everyone you know talks is wrong and that's bad" – and sometimes teachers will even try to "correct" their own speech patterns, but much of the time they'll just come across as utter hypocrites. If they actually taught it as "this is a formal common language, but the way you speak is fine", great!
