I never once had a language teacher that had even the tiniest shred of competence. It's not the norm.
Was for me. I've had teachers assistants that were intelligent and pedagogically literate. Benefits of going to school in the nordics, I guess.
But my point stands. That makes those people unworthy of the effort. You might play to those things to get ahead, but it still doesn't mean it's good communication.
And good communication should be your default behaviour, otherwise you're part of the problem.
I don't play those games.
But most people do, because there's a lot of it required to succeed in a lot of industries. (Even if most recognized that it's nonsense, which they don't), everyone can't just apply for the one percent of bosses who don't do bullshit games.
