My child really likes this school overall. However, I had a very uncomfortable experience with one of the kindergarten teachers.While I stayed outside briefly to sort the school supplies, my spouse and child entered the classroom ahead of me. When the teacher saw me, she frowned and asked, “Why didn’t you come inside together?” She then repeatedly insisted that I needed an interpreter, even after I clearly told her that I did not. I am actually a professional interpreter myself and had no difficulty communicating with her in English.Her insistence made me feel stereotyped because I am Asian, and the interaction came across as both disrespectful and discriminatory. I cannot know her intentions, but school staff should listen to parents rather than make assumptions about their English ability based on their appearance or background. Although my child has otherwise had a positive experience at this school, I hope the school provides better cultural-sensitivity training so that other families do not have a similar experience.
