I had a dirty dog for a teacher. he used threaten me continually, give me detentions, beat me over the head Kennedy's Shorter Latin Primer, ridicule me for not remembering what came after hic haec hoc, and made me hate my life for years.

However he did teach me about the conditional tense.

If a dog WERE the teacher.

This has given me a snotty, superior and very arrogant manner. Fancy not knowing about the conditional tense, one inwardly chortles.....
I think I detest education. Yeh, let the dogs do it, orang utans too, and kangaroos for PE. sod the teaching unions!
