I commented on that post on FB and said while it is an unprofessional thing to say, the whole comment thread had basically turned into a teacher bashing session with people trying to out-do each other with how

I bet if I was her teacher, I would have advised against taking a rigorous and academic subject like A-level English as well, not because she mightn't have been capable, but because she clearly doesn't give a
