So, I can't decide if this is hilarious or traumatic. Thoughts?

As you may know, I teach ESL to college age students. Twice a semester (midterm and final) I get feedback on how I'm doing as a teacher, and what can be improved in my classes.
I'm not the most forgiving person when it comes to myself, I tend to judge myself rather harshly. So these reviews can be a difficult time for me; I usually disregard all the positive things and focus purely on the negative. In my own defense (to you judgmental readers) I will include many of the positives mentioned in my review this midterm. So in answer to the question "What do you like about the class," here are some gems:
"The teacher is cool" "MS. Greer's class is SO MUCH FUN!!!!!:)" "she is very patient and teaches really well." "It is dynamic, fun" "It is really fun, and interactive" "She is awesome and teaches us very well" "She is fun, easy to understand" "mThe teacher. She is funny and knows how to teach." "that she m akes us im prove our speaking in a funny way."
K, so after that ego boost, I will share one and only one answer to the question, "What don't you like about the class?"
When the teacher is on her period. She be stressed and is not funny =(
Awkward much? Like, seriously, first of all, you think you know? Secondly, you were willing to write that on a review? I mean, I know there are cultural differences regarding what's appropriate to discuss, but come on. From the moment I read it I've been torn between laughter and horror. I think I keep leaning toward the horror end of the spectrum....
