"Teacher Golding doesn't even know her Pinyin! She can't tell the difference between 'c' and 'ch,' 's' and 'sh,' or 'r' and 'l.' She doesn't recognize a lot of characters, either. She pronounces the word for 'spring' wrong, making it sound like 'village.' She butchers the idiom for 'a riot of colors' into something that sounds like 'wilted eraser,' and turns the phrase 'full of life' into gibberish. She gets everything wrong!"
Tang Xiaonan repeated herself loudly. She wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. Phoenix Golding was truly an empty vessel, completely uncultured. She wasn't even qualified to teach first grade. 'How on earth did that woman even graduate from high school?'
