Imagine speaking to your child in your native language, only for them to be punished at school for supposedly swearing! That’s exactly what happened to a mom who’s originally from a small non-English speaking country but now lives in the US with her American partner. Their five-year-old daughter, who’s in kindergarten, was recently scolded by her teacher for using ‘naughty words’ in class. The mom was furious and confronted the teacher, but was she in the right? Let’s dive into this dramatic tale.
