I clearly recall that I started studying English in Grade 5, and I continued with those studies in high school. Of course, we had somewhat the same problem you were describing earlier, that of English teachers not speaking English. But I thought that sort of approach had changed over the years. I must say I'm very disappointed to hear that is still a problem in our schools. I know it's a provincial matter, but I can't wrap my head around the fact that we still have that problem in 2013.
