I am looking for advice I am quite cross but as its my dd can't decide if I am being UR.
My dd who is 8 has been doing gymnastics since she was 2.5. She did it for fun and her coach outside of school was also a teacher at school. Just over a year ago she moved to a new Gym and is now a competitive gymnast she trains 12 hours a week. When she made the move the teacher/coach was awful and made life very difficult for my dd (I posted on here)We complained to the school as she was horrible. My dd moved to another class in september and we just stay away from the teacher.
Anyway a few months ago said teacher approached me at a meeting and asked if my dd would consider trying out for the school team. I really wanted to avoid it but said I would speak to dd. I did and she said 'no I don't want to Mrs X never picks me for anything'. Teacher approached me again so I talked to dd again and she said she would go for it.
My dd really lacks confidence and is under CAHMS for anxiety however she is totally at home and in her element with gymnastics. It her 'thing'
My dd tried out on Friday and was left out of the team the coach said she wasn't good enough. She then picked 4 girls who go to her gym and few with no experience at all! My daughter grades next weekend and it has really knocked her confidence and she keeps saying Mrs X says I am not good enough. Without sounding like a braggy witch I know for a fact my daughter is hands down the best gymnast at the school (its a small school) she has won the Sports personality award twice and at her last competition she came 3rd in the county (obviously against competitive gymnasts.)
I am furious that she approached me twice and then did this knowing that how shy my dd is and how much courage it took for her to try out. I feel like it was quite personal and unneccesarily unkind.
I want an explanation AIBU?
AIBU?
