I see anti-Semitism as the desire to see the entire Jewish race wiped out.

Desiring them to be perfected CANNOT equate to this.

If I desire my child to get A’s when he is now getting B’s in school, am I anti-my-child ?

there is also a misunderstanding of “perfection” working here. It means completeness in reconciliation with God. Christians believe that is not possible without Christ as Savior.

I'm pretty sure that insulting feelings toward all Jews qualifies as anti-Semitism, as the term is commonly understood.

Desiring a group of people different from you to be "perfected", when you define perfection to be whatever you are, can certainly be seen as insulting.
