English As She Is Taught is a book written by Caroline Bigelow Le Row and published in 1887. The book is a collection of humorous and absurd answers given by students in public schools in response to examination questions. Le Row compiled the answers from various sources, including newspapers and personal experiences, and organized them into categories such as grammar, composition, and literature. The book provides a glimpse into the education system of the late 19th century and the challenges faced by both teachers and students. The answers range from unintentionally funny to outright ridiculous, but they offer a unique perspective on the struggles of learning English language and literature. Overall, English As She Is Taught is an entertaining and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of education or the quirks of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
