My mom called me out once as a kid for assuming she was less intelligent or incorrect just because of her accent. It's one thing to correct your child on that misconception -- that's correct. It's another thing to insist on using an English word incorrectly -- that's incorrect. I think you are coming from the right place but that you are trying to place blame on parents essentially for failing to “fit in” as much as for being strict. Again, I'm not talking about being strict. I'm talking about basic communication and maintaining your credibility. What do you think about the boss who would rather maintain face and keep his dominance, as opposed to a boss who actually listens and prioritizes learning the truth? It's the same thing.
