Wow. I'm not sure I'd allow her to keep teaching my child if that was her true attitude. That statement makes no sense and I cannot believe she said that in FRONT of him. I have to believe she wasn't really thinking. And I don't blame you for not responding then and there - who would expect a teacher to say that in front of a child? Does she have a warm relationship with your son? Does it seem like she really "gets" him?
I am very glad that your son has the ability to let go of things like this! My DS does as well. I also have issues with letting things go. If it were a stranger on the street, I would let it go. But since it is someone you're paying big bucks to teach your son, I'd pursue it with her. Maybe you could call or e-mail her and ask her what she meant by that?
