Dear ____, Please ____

Dear French Teacher,
Please do not tell me that it is "sickening" that I do not have confidence in myself when it comes to the French language (at least, not confidence at the level you think I should have). Please do not tell me that I am "too much of a perfectionist" and care too much about things being "just right." It is my choice not to take the AP test, and your condescending remarks will not raise my skill level any. I would rather develop a strong sense of stability before floundering through a test-- isn't that a more effective way of achieving near-fluency? I think so.
Sincerely,
Disgruntled student (who wants confidence in a language before spending $87 on a test)

    Seriously though, the AP is a waste if you're not ready. A waste of time, money, ability, energy and paper. Rock on.
