W....T....F
Okay, so have you ever had one of those teachers/instructors that either
a) has no idea what the @%*$ they're talking about
b) says things that don't make sense
-OR-
c) has UNAMERICAN-ly AWFUL grammer skills
-OR EVEN WORSE-
d) all three??
Yeah, me too.
Let's think about this for a second, shall we?
The Worst Teacher-isms
-Saying "in any case" or "if you will" like 27 times (at least- I counted once and this is the number I got) in the 1 1/2 hour class time.\
-Not being able to say 2 words without saying "umm", "uhh", or "what am I trying to say?"
-Saying "a" when it should be "an" or vice versa.
-Not giving a student credit either in class discussion or on an assignment/test just because it's not the exact wording or instance the teacher was looking for
-Mispronouncing common words like "author" and "preface"
-BEING AN ENGLISH TEACHER AND SAYING THINGS LIKE "Is there any questions?" OR NOT BEING ABLE TO COUNT #%&@ING SYLLABLES
I can honestly say that I could teach a college level class better than some of these people. From simply reading and comprehending what I read and being able to speak properly, not to mention being comfortable enough speaking in front of a group to not sound like a bumbling idiot.
And that, ladies and gents, is what grinds my gears.
