It would seem that the teacher didnt mean to offend my daughter.
However the class was writing down the translation for french words.
The list went like this:
Politics
Business/company
Aeroplane
Celebrity
Bmx
Shopping centre/world trade centre
Poor people
Ginger
Fashion
Boat
Climbing
Factory
Married
Grandchildren
Anyway when she got to the word Roux, the teacher said to my daughter you will know this one.
I think this threw my daughter off (not knowing why she would know above everyone) and ahe hesitated as she thought the translation for Roux was red and the teacher said no it's Ginger, lets not confuse everyone.
I think their was a few giggles and obvioulsy everyone was looking at her.
Needless to say she was really embarrassed.
What is everyones opinon on this?!
