Diamonds in the rough

I want to tell you all a story about an English teacher at the A1 Crew College (ACC). She had students who were trying their best to perfect their English. Well one afternoon one of her students, Sahana, came to her room and didn’t even stop to take a breath.

And she said, “Dr. Monica, one of my friends says this class is for students who aren’t very bright. They say we are just learning baby stuff. And that your class is for students who aren’t serious about learning.”

Well Dr. Monica was not pleased at all. She said, “Sahana, the students in my class are perspicacious. They are erudite and articulate, unlike the dolt who told you such a thing.”

“In this room, students learn to not only speak English flawlessly, but they learn how to communicate professionally and respectfully. They do not use English to insult others, they use it to master their courses and human interactions. They know the difference between an objective and a subjective point of view, and a simile and a metaphor.”

“Now you go tell that student that according to your teacher's subjective point of view, the words he utters from his feeding orifice are nonsense, and that if he really wanted to learn proper English he would enroll in our class where students are diamonds in the rough, not moissanite.”
