how do the English teachers react when you read out the textbook in English with your slick, impeccable pronunciation? I bet their English isn't even half as good. how embarrassing it would have been when a sixteen-year-old came along who speak English better than themselves, making them feel insecure about their positions! you'd been perceived as a threat, and however respectful you were towards them, you'd been rebuffed and called out unfairly. hope you hold up till you're done with the highschool. you're going to university anyway.

yours,
