Just brought up another point...... How about the student who doesn't
have a clue what proper english is? Sure they have been to school but
what does that mean? I'm convinced that our modern education system is
falling into disrepute and decay judging from the dismal results of
testing across the country.
Having the experience to teach is one thing. Being able to convey that
to a student is another. Then, what is the educational level of the
teacher?
Your post illuminates the deficiencies and I agree with you. If a
student doesn't have some good skills with the english language, how
can we expect them to gain anything useable from reading? If a CFI only
serves to accentuate that with poor english useage, where does it go?
There was a comedian years ago who used misuse of English as his
comedic routine and he was very successful with it. Norm Crosby by
name. Norm was partially deaf and used that as his entree to what can
happen with misunderstanding what was said vs what was meant.
Wish I could explain my self more clearly.
