[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I love it when students find my mistakes. In fact, I give them a paper "reward" that says "I Caught the Teacher," and the kids LOVE it. That said, as a parent in this situation, I think the better lesson here is teaching a child when to fight battles. I would compliment my child on spotting the mistake (at home) and say something like "adults mix up 'affect' and 'effect' all the time. Let's talk about the difference." Then I'd talk with her about the pros and cons of correcting the teacher. Yes, it's important to stand up for oneself; it's also important to know which battles to fight. Unfortunately, most teachers aren't so keen on being corrected by students. This is a science class, not an English class. I'd probably let it go.[/quote]
