Read the passage below and indicate whether Ms. Optimism acted professionally or not. Provide three reasons to support your stance.
As a teacher in the school with a dual medium instruction, Ms Optimism was
comfortable because she could communicate proficiently in both languages.
The medium of instruction in Ms Optimism’ school were English and
Afrikaans. However, in 1997 the demographics of his learners started
showing some shifts. The learners’ language of communication increased to
ten different languages. Of the ten languages she was proficient in only two
languages. Her concern was that he could not cover the need of the entire
class. As a learner, she always felt isolated and marginalized because she
believed that she never had a teacher who truly saw her. Thus, she always
wanted to cover the needs of every learner in her classroom. She felt that
she could not accomplish her goal due to lack of language proficiency of the
other eight languages
