I appreciate your guest's comments, which sound like a typical experience.  I wonder if she was educated in Korean before moving to the United States, and if her parents are also educated.  I teach English as a Second Language and I have worked with students who were born in refugee camps and whose parents have never been educated in their native language.  These students (and their teachers) are held to the same federal standards as those of your guest.
