My 12yo son is particularly good at maths and has won some awards etc. My 10yo daughter struggles with it and has said before that she thinks she’s stupid.
Daughter is getting some extra maths help in class with a teacher’s aid. Another TA is listening in one day and says ‘Oh wow! Your brother would have finished that in seconds, wouldn’t he!’
I thought that was a spectacularly unhelpful thing to say. Daughter wasn’t particularly fazed. She said ‘well, it’s true!’
Would you be annoyed? If so, would you do anything about it?
