Miss Grant mad about classical language — doesn't like her pupils doing this? (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mistranslating

'doesn't like her pupils doing this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'miss grant mad about classical language' is the wordplay.
'mad' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'classical language' becomes 'latin' (I've seen this before).
'miss'+'grant'='missgrant'
'missgrant' with letters rearranged gives 'mistransg'.
'mistransg' placed around 'latin' is 'MISTRANSLATING'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
