What does Por que escuchas to profesor en clase mean?

This phrase is grammatically incorrect in Spanish. It should be:

¿Por qué escuchas al profesor en clase?

This translates to:

Why do you listen to the teacher in class?

Here's a breakdown:

* ¿Por qué? - Why?

* escuchas - you listen (informal "tú" form of the verb "escuchar")

* al profesor - to the teacher

* en clase - in class

The question implies that the listener might be questioning the reason someone would listen to the teacher in class. It could be a rhetorical question, or it could be a genuine inquiry.
