I hope they get rid of that incompetent teacher and give you one that will actually teach you the subject correctly. I know how that is. I had a Spanish teacher at my high school who just barely graduated college when she was hired to be the teacher. She was about 20-21 and spent most of the time flirting with the students and the students would goof around and tell her dirty jokes. She just giggled and blushed when they did and she would even distract us from learning due to it. My "favorite" part was while we are studying, she would interrupt our study for some thing unimportant. She literally turned on the PC projector with a picture of a purse on it and went "Attention Class! You see the purse? It's really cute and I want it so badly. I'm gonna get this purse." I never learned Spanish either and I wanted to because I have relatives who speak that language. Also here in AZ we've been getting more & more Spanish speaking residents (you know because of that immigration issue that politicians are now obsessed with) over hear and I wanna be able to understand them too.
