So Viva:

HONESTLY i learned and spoke YOUR english just for the money...

Viva, you've been conned because you haven't.

and being a businesswoman

Now I begin to see.

Viva my little sugar cube, is it asking too much that teachers of a subject should have a decent grasp of what they teach, be it languages, mathematics or even carpentry.?
Of course I don't expect students to attain a perfect level English, unless they are extrordinarily gifted or spend damn near a lifetime to achieve the level of proficiency that native speakers take for granted.

The level of grammar, spelling, sentence structure, syntax etc. exhibited by your good self in your many missives here have been appalling. If I sent my child to a school where the English teacher used your brand of sloppiness, I should demand a refund.

In my native Hampshire home we have a saying;
'andsome is, as 'andsome does'.
You 'aint and you don't,

Many students with whom I come into contact do like English very much when taught by enlightened teachers and, being a teacher of teachers, I try my best to instill this concept.

Draw your own conclusions.
