> I got a feeling that the OP was ranting due to her own hurt feelings rather than her daughter's. I failed to see anything out of the extraordinary that made the teacher deserve such harsh criticism.

The classroom culture is the teacher's responsibility. If a student is being harassed and has a hostile environment in this classroom, the teacher has failed in a serious way. Doubly-so when the harassment is driven by bigotry.

Then she should have kept the criticism relevant to that and not attacking the teacher's technical judgement:

"Visual Basic? Seriously?? Yes, I know I said I'm not writing to complain about your choice of programming languages, even though I'm still scratching my head on this one"

That only moves the focus from the real problem and creates a dispute that is not even relevant and necessary.

She provides almost zero details of the harassment and lot's of details on irrelevant things. How will that help the teacher to stop this from happening again if he is not told what went wrong?
