English!!, What's that?

I went, I saw, I laughed I came back.

Oh my god, they know...NOTHING!, now thanks to that teacher I feel as if I'm an Oxford grad student (or something).

Let me explain.

I decided to arrive half an hour early running away from my aunt's food and I met one of my colleagues, the one who had already studied there. So we talked for a while, then she half explained to me where my classroom was and left.

So far so good.

I go to the 3rd floor to wait for the teacher and she never arrives, so I go to the teacher's room (after getting lost a couple hundred times and asking another hundred to the girls around me for it) where appart from being treated as if I was TT (teacher trash) by one of the old-and-wise teachers, I can't find my 'boss' and I decide to go back.

Once in the classroom I ask one of the girls if I was on the correct classroom, she says 'yes' and in a couple minutes I'm surrounded by 15 little girls asking me which was the diference between 'say and tell' because they had a quiz and they didn't know shit. Ok, I give them a couple examples and they leave.

Still no teacher.

Ten minutes later she arrives and chaos ensues.

She introduces me to the class but I don't think they paid too much attention to what she said -but I did-.

E.g: We have a lot of 'persons' in today.

WTF?

Ok I know that you may say 'persons' in some ocassions when you are trying to be polite and stuff, but this was not the case at all. Then I go to sit at the back to take notes, she begins by giving instructions about the quiz and I take more notes.

The quiz was good, but a total waste of time, since they didn't really learn the verbs for they were cheating and having problems with her instructions (even though she gave them in spanish).

In the end, she decides it's time to do some exercises on past simple/continuous. They had to write 'what did they do on their weekends, with whom, etc' and meanwhile she went to look for some materials, but before that she goes and write this on the board:

'The ask and answer'

Yes, you read right: The ask and answer.

Not 'TheN'

Yes of course we all make mistakes, I make thousands when I'm writing but, she looked at it 4 times! 4 times!

So this woman leaves me alone with all the poor air heads when I realise they are all staring at the board wondering 'what the heck' she meant by 'The ask and answer' so I went and explained one by one what did they had to do, and how, etc, etc.

She arrives once again with a couple hundred of boring handouts on superlatives, comparatives and simple past.

The girls didn't know anything she was talking about, they couldn't check the answers because they ran out of time.

My boss made another couple mistakes, that the students had to point out to her, so all in all it was a total disaster.

But not everything was so terrible, since they girls seemed to be friendly enough and they really wanted to learn or so I could feel. There was this little quiet girl who was studying english in some institute so at least she had the motivation enough to stand that crappy teacher.

There were some clumsy girls at the back and some others who seemed to have an attitude problem or something, but when I asked them if they had any problem they would all ask me more questions and act really polite.

So far:
Students 1 - Teacher 0

Even though my boss seems to be a very a nice woman, her english really sucks, no wonder why the standars of english are so low in Chile. Geeez I don't want her teaching my children (dream honey dream) any time soon.

She gave no homework but I have to create a personal interview so they can practise their spoken english. I have 18/25 ready, however to tell the truth I don't know how on earth they are going to answer, they don't even know how to say 'OUT' or 'SOME' in english.

Why me Lord, why me.
