Look at these two sentences. Which of them is correct?
A. John draws the most beautifully of all hir classmates do.
B. John draws the most beautifully of all hir classmates.

In my opinion, do should be omitted. Most teachers claim that A is absolutely correct. If it isn't, would you please clarify the reason for me?

A doesn't work for me. It would work in the comparative- more beautifully than his classmates do.

Who are these "most teachers" to whom you refer? I don't know any native speakers (teachers or otherwise) who think that "most beautifully ... than ... do" is correct. Note that you spelt "his" incorrectly in both sentences.

I assumed he meant most of his colleagues, given that he is an English Teacher.
