a Year of Degradation

So i got this new english teacher this year.....and i think he couldn't even speak english. Ironic, i know. but that's the truth. What he said was like a statement from google translate, which is translated from word to another, and not translating some word as a whole statement, which is weird if you translated a statement in Indonesian, word to word into english. Some statement don't even make sense.

And his grammar. I got another story of it. So, in my class, there is this girl, whom her dad is english, and she had won several english debate competition, which can be guaranteed that her english is excellent. My teacher was saying some lines about grammar, and my friend told him that what he was saying was wrong. And he couldn't accept it. The class realized of what he said, and began to tell him. But, of course, he wouldn't heard what he said, because he felt 'superior' somehow. And he ended up giving a weak argument, which was pretty ironic

Oh yeah. I got the first test with him around 2 months ago. and guess what? From all class that he teaches 80-90 percent students got 0-50 from the perfect 100. and he wouldn't even tell us where are our mistakes. Then I got my worst score at english(since the first time i learned english) for the mid-semester report. And my house was in an uproar. And they were saying lines like "Years to take an english course, and you got this?!" and " You got this because you join OSIS, don't you?" Honestly, i don't even know where i got the score from. All assignments that he gave, he just sign it. He didn't bother to read it. At All.

I miss my old teacher. Although her style of teaching was pretty boring, at least we could practice our english speaking skills from the presentations that we made. Honestly, I'm afraid that i would lose my English skills. I'm afraid that i can not talk in English anymore. And we, eleventh graders, didn't get the material from a native speakers. And my friends and i were quite desperate at that time. So, i hope all teacher know this;
" Guru bukanlah seorang manusia yang selalu benar,
Dan murid bukanlah seekor kerbau yang selalu salah"
