Back in the mid 70s, the Chicago teachers were on strike and a tv reporter was interviewing a picketer, he asked her what she did at the school and I'm not making this up, she said."I teaches English".

I was pulled out of public school in the third grade for the same reason. My mother went to meet the teacher, and I was enrolled in private school the next day. That was also in the 70s

I remember my mother telling the Principal that she had a hard enough time making sure that I spoke correct English, and I sure didn't need a teacher that speaks it worse than a 4 year old.

I come from a long line of English teachers, and my mother is still quick to correct me.

. . . and I'm not making this up, she said."I teaches English".
