James Joyce and The English Teacher

.

.

“Silence, James. Your English is improper.”

“But how do you know?”

“I am an English teacher.”

“That explains volumes.”

“I’ll teach you, young man!”

Always remember that every English teacher would be utterly adrift and out of touch if you transported that English teacher into a classroom a hundred years into the future. English teachers teach static rituals of a form that is not in stasis.
