Don't call me an A-hole. I just cannot stand hearing frequent mistakes over virtual and do not want my kid picking them up.

You are an a-hole. It is first grade, lighten up. Who gives a shit?

Also, cough up $20k for private and then you won’t get mistakes.

There’s no guarantee this wouldn’t happen in a private school.

My tween had MANY early teachers who spoke less than perfect English: non native speakers, black vernacular English, and other variations among them. My kid didn’t lose the ability to conjugate a verb. He didn’t pick up bad habits. He, like other kids, is perceptive enough to pick up on these things and came out just fine. These women who said “yous” and “what you gonna do?” and other things taught him how to read, how to be kind, and that people who don’t enunciate every t have every bit of value as the next person.

This whole damn thread is a micro aggression.

This thread is completely despicable. But if I were to tell people what it’s like to live here, it’s probably the best example I could think of to show. People who have the nerve to talk down on someone who can teach in her non native language and getting uppity about apostrophes. People in this area are so damn pleased with themselves for being absolutely horrible and mean people.

This. It's like every ahole in America feels the need to move to this area, be a complete dick to everyone around them, and then cry about how much better whatever crap hole they came ou of it than the DC area.

I tell my husband that I had no idea that there were actually perfect people in the world until I found DCUM. So many here are perfect workers, parents, spouses, etc. eager to judge others for their shortcomings. It is astonishing.

Op didn’t say this teacher is Black and BVE isn’t a second language, it’s a dialect of English that is perfectly acceptable in professional situations. It has distinct rules and syntactical patterns.

Um, no. Unless Kentucky slang is also acceptable in professional settings. Neither is proper English.
