Still not accepted "Émile, you must not bite the professor"
REPORTED 05/11/2020 (CORONAVIRUS ERA)
Professeur is usually a teacher in un collège / lycée (middle school / high school). Most often it is not the same thing as "professor" in English.
It would be nice if we had a tips section explaining what subjunctive is, when to use it and what the forms are.

see pages 28-33, especially #2 at the top of page 30.
I see that you're also studying Spanish. The subjunctive mood is a survival skill in that language, and it is used much more often than in French. See, for example, 501 Spanish Verbs by Kendris and Kendris.
You will find it useful to learn in Portuguese as well.
Duo please may we have consistency. Elsewhere professor, teacher and prof have all been accepted by Duo as translations of Professeur.

If a person's name has an accent in their native language it should be preserved in English, otherwise it's just rude.
