An English teacher proudly hates the English language: Insists that grammar and writing rules are based in white supremacy so she tries to undermine it in her classroom

English is a dynamic, completely unprejudiced language that’s willing to absorb influences from every part of the world, and is at its best when people follow rules that encourage clarity at an essay’s micro and macro levels.

A good English teacher is one who conveys all of this to her students, explaining why our language is awesome and why the rules matter—and then proceeding to teach her students these rules. Once a student has mastered his mother tongue, he is able to go out and, in theory, conquer the world. Why? Because all human interactions rely on communication, and he who communicates best has an advantage.

An English teacher who should rightly be fired on the spot.
Either do your job or you are fired. Bye.

English is a horrible language to try to learn. Nothing to do with "white supremacy".

Russian is very simple.

10 endings for conjugation and declension.

No silent or substitute letters.

No same sounding or same spelled words having different meanings.

Simple phonics.

If this English Teacher thinks she is part of the problem, I suggest that she NOT be part of the problem by finding another job.

RE: English is a horrible language to try to learn. Nothing to do with “white supremacy”. Russian is very simple.

Esperanto is the SIMPLEST. But it never caught on. Less than 2 million people in the world speak Esperanto.

I see an English teacher doing a juggling act with the English language. If she wants to juggle, she should join the circus.

I’m no longer sure who is the biggest enemy of this country. Journalists or teachers?

You don’t have to worry if you are part of the problem, honey. I am assuring you that you certainly ARE! You are dumber than dog stuff. You drank all the libtard Kool-aid and asked for seconds. And you’re NOT any sort of educator-—just a shill for a bunch of libtard crap. You have no original thoughts of your own, you just parrot the garbage you’ve heard from other libtards. Leave the classroom and find some work more suitable for you, like cleaning dog kennels or working at McD’s.

If you hate the English language, then you shouldn’t even be teaching an English class, much less teaching at all.

My personal opinion is...the English Language, if spoken properly, is one of the most beautiful languages in the world.

Russian is very simple.

I worked with 5 or 6 different native born Russians, in California. All the Russians I asked, (three of them) said Russian was far more difficult to learn, than English. I have never tried to learn Russian. All I know, is what native born Russians told me.

I looked for an antonym for the word “teacher”: someone who unteaches. Apparently she is the first. A knowledge destroyer.

Maybe her sorry a$$ can find another job, in, let’s say, North Korea.
