Read this again, carefully.

With english teachers like you in the system, I'm suprised ANY french people
can speak English.

The English teachers they have in public school are not like me, and as a
result they cannot speak English after leaving school. They then come to
people like me to actually learn the language. It's unfortunate for the
country but it does keep hundreds of private language schools in business.
