English is a glorious language that has developed over a thousand years, borrowing from every other tongue as it goes, and developing strict rules to maintain maximum coherence. It is spoken around the world and is, therefore, the language of money and power. But to a White, middle-aged leftist English teacher, the English language she’s responsible for teaching to all students, regardless of race, color, creed, etc., is nothing more than an ugly White supremacist means of controlling people.
More than any language in the world, English is a portmanteau language—that is, it has cheerfully borrowed from every language with which English speakers have come into contact, creating a language of unusual richness and beauty. Over the millennia, it has absorbed myriad tongues into its Germanic core: Latin, Greek, the Romance languages, French, Hindu, Welsh, Gaelic, Dutch, Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic, Swahili, and more. In this, it differs greatly from other languages. The French, for example, are proud that their language has calcified.
Over the same time, it has developed grammar rules that are intended to ensure the utmost clarity when communicating. Take, for example, one of my favorites, which is the rule against dangling or misplaced modifiers. There is a huge difference between “The girl in the red bathing suit watched a seagull flying by,” and “The girl watched a seagull flying by in a red bathing suit.”
I also like the rules saying that the wise writer avoids passive voice. Which sentence do you prefer? “The dog played with the child’s ball” or “The ball of the child was played with by the dog.”

There are also structural rules that make communication better.

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.
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.
She’s an idiot.
You’re definitely a problem for those who are not visually impaired. Another look at meeeeee
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.
It gets the Hootowl99 Thumbs Up award. Lol..
String her up from the goal post.
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.
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.
I be
we be
you be
they be
I is
we is
you is
they is
piece of cake...
.
Maybe her sorry a$$ can find another job, in, let’s say, North Korea.
