Yeah, English was always a fucking pain. As an adult though I wish I remembered the parts of speech and how to structure English documents well. A huge part of my job in tech is explaining things in English text.
In high school an English teacher helped start me on the path to wind up here by making us learn about McCarthyism and making me do a report on the Vietnam war (everyone had a 20th century event to report on). The whole incident left me more open minded towards left wing anti authoritarianism
My 7th grade English teacher changed me. Hope you’re still busting balls and wearing outlandishly chunky necklaces, Mrs Locke.
Granted she only managed to change me from an idiot kid into an idiot who wanted to be smart, but it was a start.
