[quote=Anonymous]I once took a Spanish class through a community org.  There was a woman in the class who was probably below average among the students in our intermediate class.

I was horrified to learn she'd spent her career as a Spanish teacher at DCPS (won't name the school, but it was a junior high)! No idea what the kids were learning in her class, as none of my fellow students were at the level where anyone should have relied on us to teach them a new language.

The people who are disparaging proper grammar and spelling are either jealous of people who learned those things, or confused about your question.  There are certainly fields where it's ok to be a bad speller or not use proper grammar, but teaching a language is not one of them.  I would work respectfully through the chain of command: have your child express his or her concerns to the teacher, then you do so, then you talk to the principal, then to the cluster superintendent, staying calm and using evidence of the problem as you go.[/quote]
