Hmmm... I'd think I'd have serious concerns about this person's ability to teach my child to use the English language correctly. Very odd. Obviously, you need clarification. Good luck in your search for answers, I hope a verbal explanation makes more sense!

ETA. Hahahaha! Just read this to DH as I was so appaled. He suggested taking a red pen to the note and marking corrections in spelling, underlining contradictory statements and making a comment on the bottom saying something to the effect of 'Please resubmit this work'.
Yeah, he's a smart-a$5 but I love the idea!
