I'm from the continent, DH's from South-East Asia. We somehow met in London. Two DC, 4 and 2yo. This evening he mentioned, as an aside to another topic: "it's like [other child we're nannysharing with] who is 3 and can spell entire words, whereas our son can't spell and he's 4!" right in front of DS.
AIBU to think that this view on education is plain wrong? His way is the way his parents tought him, ie: you're doing bad, other child is doing so much better. My way is more about building confidence in the hope that confidence will help them push themselves further.
Anyways, not that my views on education are very intellectual, or very definite, but I just felt that his comment was WRONG and so COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE on our son's ability (especially when I can see that as a child, he particularly thrives on encouragement).
Thoughts?! Am I on the right track?! or too protective?! I'm really angry. We're not talking tonight.

To think that DH's view on education is plain wrong? (warning: cultural bias).
