[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you admittedly "don't know much about teacher's professional conduct" and "will ask around first", then WHY have you already decided to tell your child that your teacher's behavior is "unprofessional"?

[b]Also, your grammar ridiculously bad and this makes you appear unintelligent.  [/b]Perhaps your own parents damaged your education with ill-informed, idiotic snap judgements of your teachers?  You need to tell your child that you made a mistake.  Then, teach him/her to respect teachers and education so that your child, unlike his/her mother, can learn to craft a grammatically correct sentence in the English language.  [/quote]

How many languages do you speak? Do you frequently post on the Internet in a language that you are not a native speaker of? Do you base your assessment of somebody's intelligence on their command of written or spoken standard American English?

I'm not the OP.[/quote]

Yes, I do judge someone's intelligence based (in part) their command of whatever language they are attempting to speak in most contexts (such as this one).  Poor grammar/presentation is deemed "unprofessional" in many business and social settings.

I speak three languages, and I'm currently on a job post in a European country in which many people speak several languages correctly.  I don't frequently post on the internet in my "non native" languages, but I do frequently speak, send emails, and attend meetings in those languages.  The (multilingual) people I know here became fluent in several languages because they work a lot harder at it than most Americans I know, and they don't disregard grammar rules, etc.  The American phenomenon of the helicopter mother doesn't exist here, and there is an entirely different attitude about education.

I am OP, and English is my 4th language. We are not in a business setting here. Sorry if my grammar (or lack of it) offends you, but it was obvious from my first posting that English is not my first language and if it is really bothers you, please just pass this topic. It seems to me that most of the people understood what I was talking about and shared their opinions.

Multilingual Europeans (and I am one of them) learned the language from the early childhood. I speak, read and write fluently in those languages. However, I learned English after 25, and this is the best I can do. Thank you for your opinion on my intelligence, thought :)

Your conclusion of me being a helicopter mom is totally wrong. I raised high schoolers and never have to deal with teachers before. All this happening in elementary school, and I really didn't know if I should address this or let it go. [/quote]
