Get out

Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

Haha. That's funny. Also, she could have just used microsoft word and used the grammar/spell check button. She must be a pain in the ass

Solution: sterilize all people with an IQ under 110. Just throwing that out there, you never know what could work.

I once had a substitute teacher like that. "If you need help, don't worry, I was certified for foreign language in college. If you need me to translate something, I have google translate on my Ipad.

Take these example scentences to your principal.

Well a student that correct teachers is annoying, he/she is just a know-it-all

FYL. I know how you feel. I studied English in a French university, and some of our professors couldn't even speak the language. They were very learned in their respective field (linguistics, literature, grammar, civilization, etc.) but that was pretty much it. I remember that once for an exam we had to translate a text from French to English, and there was the term "phosphorescent", which I translated as "glow-in-the-dark". However, the professor who marked the copy said that it was a mistranslation and quite inacurate, and it cost me a point. According to her, glow can only be used for a RED light, not green. I should have said "gleam-in-the-dark". I disagreed and asked her why we say "glow-worm" in that case, when the light they emit is clearly green. She didn't like it, called me a mister-know-it-all and moved on with her class. Tsk tsk...

^ And highly intelligent people or in your own words, a "know-it-all" are bad and annoying, right? Should we stick with dumb people who doesn't now much about the world?

since your English seems fine to me, completely bitch your teacher out in English in the next class, see how they react to someone who can actually speak the language.

My spanish teacher had us watch Dora all year. First we would watch it in english, then in spanish. She seriously thought we would learn spanish that way.
