I was 24 and had a little time
on my hands.
A friend was tutoring English in a
community college’s tutorial lab.
I applied. By writing two paragraphs
of on-the-spot, off-the-cuff stuff.
I was hired the instant the hiring
woman had read it. (The unwritten
requirement was to be enrolled.
I wasn’t.)
The Staff of a hundred and eighty-five
years’ tenure mildly resented this.
One day, after a particularly slow
workload of assignments, I broke
out some spontaneity to keep the
all-foreign but happy-to-learn students
abuzz.
I wrote on the chalkboard,
“Stay tuned for Susan and I
to return, right after this.”
All students present had picked-up
the errant part, AND the why of
it–on their own.
When I told them it was common
utterance of our oh-so-prized
local TV newscasters, I watched
some of their faces light up.
In a flash of a moment, they realized
that every ambition of theirs was
closer than they’d thought.
Just knowing that these American people,
brought up in English-speaking (allegedly)
homes, were lacking in care of what
they’re paid to do, gave these students
the awareness that if they put their
best into ascent, they might do just
as well.
The Staff called me in to question,
and asked that I refrain from
straying “from the books”.
Within 3 days, four of the instructors
had approached me in various halls,
at different times, and whispered
their apologies, concluding that
I was “right”.

No, my teachers are not that dumb. In fact, they’re so smart they shouldn’t be teaching.
if it’s the teacher’s fault, talk to him/her. if that teacher won’t admit it, complain. your teacher may not be coping, may have been confused, or seeing how much you rely on her/him. have you told your parents yet? they ought to know.
