I've also seen hearing English teachers with poor English grammar, who can't spell, and frequently mispronounce words.
Ha,ha! So true. I remember one English professor well and for all the wrong reasons. I'm normally a straight A student in English even when I'm the only deaf. Well, this teacher didn't have a clue how to teach and her English wasn't good either.. Class had no structure either so I ended up dropping out of her class. I don't do well in unstructured situations even when I excel in a given subject.
