You need one of those tough public-school teachers of the sort that teach in Hillsborough County while enduring the abuse of a thuggish administration and lackadaisical school board. This pedagogical stalwart of literacy would teach you grammar, punctuation, and how to write pellucid prose.
The clause "that teach ..." modifies "sort". Sort is singular.
The meager pay presents no lure for intellectually gifted students. Yet what is astonishing is how many smart college graduates still choose to teach despite the salary penury. They love the job despite the meagre pay.
Make up your mind. UK or US? If someone adopts UK style and punctuates accordingly, you have a hissyfit. At least I'm consistent.
>I interviewed people in the president-elect’s inner circle and determined that reformers had nothing to worry about. Passive verb in a wordy sentence. “People in the president-elect’s inner circle assured me that reformers had nothing to worry about.”<
She's deluded, even with 28 years' experience in teaching English. Which is the passive verb in this sentence? When Vinegartits rewords sentences, she usually sucks out the original meaning. Perhaps this is why she is such a liar; she rewords her own thoughts so that the end result is total codswallop.
