How to deal with the child who is embrassed to see her parent in her school because the parent can't speak English?
In India, unfortunately, the English language is given a much higher preference over the native one. The people who speak English are "looked up" as compared to those who can't.
Recently, on TV, I saw an advertisement of an English tuition class where it was shown that a 5th grader was grumbling at her mother (a housewife) saying that she had made her feel insulted in the school in front of her English speaking friend's parents (during parent teacher meet up) since she couldn't speak English (and was talking in Hindi) and everyone else present there could (and was talking in English).
It was shown in advertisement that this incident made the mother think about taking English tuition classes to prevent her child from further embarrassments.
What should a parent's reaction be in such cases?

Any answer would only be an opinion, Learning English would be a good skill to have and would make it easier for her daughter on such occasions. But i don't see why it should make any difference, Speaking English does not make them any better than someone who cant speak English and her mother shouldn't have to learn another language just so her daughter will be more comfortable at parent teacher days. Every parent is embarrassing to there child at some point in there life, that's just how things are. Just my opinion, many will have different views.
