Yeah she was!

The thing is, it's not bad.

And the other thing is that you can judge someone without making yourself better than them. Just because someone is unintelligent doesn't make you a better person than they are.

True, Leah, your teacher may have a lot of experience. That's wisdom, not intelligence. But also, if she's been ignoring the fact that she should be using "is" instead of "are" for that long and through all of those experiences, she might be unintelligent. Yes, you, at your age, are probably more intelligent than a lot of people, regardless of the skills they've been taught over time.

Intelligence is something you're born with. Wisdom comes fom your environment, and both are excellent ways to judge people.

I think maybe whenever people make a definitive statement like that people are bound to jump on you.

Do you think it is possible to not judge?

to your first statement: definitely. i was going to elaborate on it in the original entry and debate with myself and be indefinite and end with a "nevermind" kind of feeling but i am so sick of doing that and so sick of never having an opinion so i didn't. but you're very right.

and to your second question, never.
