God Bless her (so to speak).
On the first day of class in 10th grade English, she told us all, "I'm not concerned with what you say. I'm concerned with how you say it."
This is what kids ought to be learning in English class - how English works. It's not the only thing they ought to learn. And I don't think every class should be taught this way. But it's great that one time in their lives these students have an English teacher who makes them think about how the language works.
