Op probably used the term "foreigner" because if you were to come to America and speak the way the sentence was constructed, that is how you would sound. The English language SEEMS like it should be really simple, but apparently it's actually one of the hardest to learn.

Ah, somehow I was thinking from the point of view of a English speaking country. But some teachers in non-English speaking countries don't speak perfect English but they studies hard to learn the language and they have a certain pride in that, so they get really annoyed when students point out mistakes. Experienced that myself growing up in Japan.

Or, the teacher should grow up, and realize she's done something stupid. Seeing as the teacher has that sort of attitude, telling her in a 1-on-1 conversation wouldn't be any different.

#19, your argument is sound, but you forgot to mention the upside of a private student-teacher meeting: hot sex. I've seen many student-teacher encounters on the Internet, and they always end in sex. It's on the Internet, so it must be the same in real life, right?

Perdix, all of your comments are making me want to Google student-teacher ****. Damnit! :)

So all of the other students should be taught the incorrect material? No. And it's not rude to tell her in front of the class. Just because someone is an adult doesn't mean that they get away with everything. She was wrong and being proven wrong in front of the entire class will make her want to be correct next time.
