Teacher's advice may have crossed the line, but so did parent's response

Register Q. I
just received parenting "advice," if you want to call it that, from
a person that does not have children of her own. My son's
fourth-grade teacher asked me if I really wanted her to tell me
what she really thinks of my parenting. I took the challenge and
this old, childless woman told me I have no idea what I am doing.
Tell me, teacher, is this right? I am shaking still and this
happened three days ago. I don't even want to send my child to
finish the year with this person. How dare she tell me how to
parent? She never even became a parent herself...
