Do you call them out on it every time or do you let it pass.

I sometimes feel like an egotistical, power-hungry tool for doing it, but I feel the kids should be using choen-dae-mal (using "yo" at the end of sentences) when talking to me---even though I'm foreigner. Because when the same kid that used banmal to me goes and talks to the Korean teacher 1 minute later, he/she uses choen-dae-mal....WTH? Feels like a slap in the face!

How do you approach this? Even though it isn't in our culture per se, do you still call them out on it ALL THE TIME?
