Yeah we get that too.... i think most teachers say that, i guess they're trying to encourage a better vocabulary used in writing or something..

well i hate my english teacher because i don't know whether you have had to write an original writing piece yet but we were told that we had to write a opening chapter about something we knew about. so naturally i decided on tennis! about a teenage girl falling in love with a boy at her tennis club. but he said i had to do it again because he isn't interested in teenage love lives and to make it worse i have been stuck with him as an english teacher for 4 years!!!! sorry guys i know that was SO BADLY |

My English teacher gave me a 7/10 'cause I wrote one thing the wrong way, all the others in my class who don't speak 3 words of English got the same grade but they had plenty more faults. Grrrrr Sometimes I just don't get those teachers  |

My english teachers for GCSE and A2 were less than good. One was incredibly pretentious (although admittedly she let me be Othello  and she was a pretty amazing writer) and one was absolutely lovely but didn't know the first thing about the subject..... |
