I'll have a slice of Leaning Tower, please

What the fuck is wrong with the English teachers in this country?

Just recently, I've been using the word pizza quite a bit, what with a fair few young'uns joining up ("I like pizza", "What's your favourite food?" etc etc). But the kids have been correcting me, saying they've been taught to say PeeZa (as in Pisa, the leaning tower of)...and I've then been correcting them...If this was a one-off I'd just about understand it, but this has happened in both schools, to quite a few students...

And yep, the Hebrew for pizza, is, well, pizza...
