Bungleau, I think she will be my teacher again next year.

I know what you mean about the teacher being scared of exceptional students. The class(well, mostly me) has questioned her on several occasions. It always ends with her gritting her gritting her teeth and angrily shouting "It was in the book! You can call to London if you want to!" She absolutely refuses to believe(aknowledge?) that any student could possibly be more correct than the book or herself.


Oh yeah, Donut, you're right. Lining up the words is a mistake I do too often. The purpose of your post wasn't to show me that I'm not so superior in knowledge of the English language, or was it? I'm not saying that I'm so good that I shouldn't do any homework, but rather that some others in my class know a lot less. For example, I think only about half of the class knows the words frequent, permanent, temporary. One classmate pronounces 'snake' as 'snack' and makes many other obvious mistakes.
