I am not going to argue with you 
because everything is relative. Maybe you are right and it is exaggeration to regard these differences as huge but they are big enough to ignore them. If you check this site http://esl.about.com/library/weekly/aa110698.htm, you▓ll see that there are a lot of differences in grammar as well.
My American friend has real fun ⌠correcting■ my British English which he calls ⌠the language of a small and unimportant island■. And he never lets out anything including grammar and spelling.
As for the schools here in Germany, all variants of the English language (including Australian, Canadian, Irish, etc) are allowed and I never correct my students. But it is considered to be bad style if students mix up these variants in one essay, so I have to point it out to them. The same is true with different language styles (formal, colloquial, slang, etc).

If you can read this, thank your teacher.
