Grimly, FWIW, I would agree with you if it wasn't a silent s. But it is.

During my second month teaching English in China, I decided to show the students a picture of myself taken after my college graduation. I passed the photo around, expecting them to be interested in my mother and sister’s blonde hair, my cap and gown, and the American scenery in the background. Instead, they seemed to be much more captivated by the object that my family and I were standing in front of: my car. Soon, instead of learning words like graduation, tassel, and diploma, my students were saying Ford, driver’s license, and gas station. Although the class itself didn’t go as I had planned, I did learn something firsthand about the aspirations of China’s future.
I'm displaying the whole paragraph for context. Please feel free to evaluate, or reevaluate. And, thanks.

Please note that I'm in the "another think coming" camp, and invented the word Pertuix, so am possibly not to be trusted.
