Directed to the individual who compares the personality of english teachers to week old pizza, it is obvious you have not had the pleasure of an english teacher dedicated to his or her field.
True educators, specifically english teachers, are amongst the most successful individuals within modern day society. Not only do we appreciate the nuances of media that is so often misleading to the common citizen, but we have an appreciation for language, relationship, and various modes of the communicative process that make us adept politicians, musicians, lawyers, counselors, doctors, lovers, mothers, husbands, and friends.
It is unfortunate that in your ignorance you have resorted to classifying all English teachers with the narrow scope of your experience. While many teachers are bound by county mandated curriculum, there are many of us who use their creativity to broaden the subject matter.
I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to benefit from an english teacher that will impart the passion, enthusiasm, and insightful that is to be found in literature.
Thank you,
