1. What is your age?

24

2. What is the highest level of education you have completed? i.e. some high school, high school, some college, college, grad school, etc.

High School, but currently in college in the trade industry

3. Referring to English, do you know what a double negative is?

Yes

4. Do you feel it is acceptable to use double negatives in everyday speech.

People can talk however they want, but they should know how they talk, can reflect on how smart or competant they are. When it comes to getting a job, you want to sound mature with some kind of education, but talking with friends or socializing, then they can talk however they want. I can't tell people how to talk, but I can suggest how bad grammer in everyday life can make one appear less intelligent.

5. Do you feel it is acceptable to use double negatives in college and high school level papers?

Of course not. You're in school to learn proper english/grammer. Using double negatives is not proper grammer in the english language.

6. Do you consider the following sentence to be acceptable: John doesn't know nothing.

No, I don't, it isn't a proper sentence. It should read "John doesn't know anything. Plus it's an incomplete sentence. It says he doesn't know anything, but what IS "anything"? It could be about ducks, or sex, or monkeys...it doesn't say "what" it is, so no, the sentence is wrong in more ways then one.
