Default Re: Teaching double comparatives

Does the textbook really have double comparatives?

*I'm more better than him.
*She has gotten more worse.

and sentences like that?

In standard (American) English this is considered "bad" English. That's not to say there aren't people who say these things but I'm surprised to hear that it's an actual lesson.
