Teachers shouldn't but more importantly I'm tired of the mindset that teachers can't be corrected, or it has to be done oh so carefully. Teachers want to be respected as professionals but [b]every other person in all other professions manage criticism everyday.[/quote]

I suspect that there are many people who would not agree with that statement.  You've never worked for someone who did not manage criticism well?  Especially when it is done with a "gotcha" attitude?
Of course, teachers can be corrected.  But. OP did not like the idea that her DD should use tact.  It wouldn't have hurt to give the teacher the benefit of the doubt.  
If DD acts like this always, she will have a hard time working for anyone.

Where is the harm in being kind to the teacher?  Perhaps, suggesting to DD that the teacher made a mistake because she was overworked and tired.  I find it difficult to believe that the teacher did not know the difference.  And, if she didn't, is it necessary to embarrass her?

OP here. You are making stuff up out of whole cloth. My whole question was about how to do this with tact. It’s been handled. Until you demonstrate some reading comprehension and stop misrepresenting what I have said here, I thank you for refraining from further comment in my thread.[/quote]
