to be annoyed at 5 yr old dd for the content of her school report

Actually, I rather think that I am, but would appreciate some perspective.

Dd has just finished Yr 1, but is the youngest in the yr and still only 5. In her school report she got 2b for literacy and numeracy. Great - very proud of her.

However, in almost everything else, the comment was that her level of effort varied. I asked her teacher about this and was told that she often appears not to listen to what is said to her, even when in a one to one situation. I know this is true - she never listens to the answers to questions she has asked and if you ask her what you just said, she says she can't remember - presumably on the basis that she wasn't listening.

So, AIBU to be annoyed at this and to let her know and tell her that she has to try harder, or should I just get over it and tell myself she is only 5 or should I be worried about her complete inability to listen (which of course I am)?

Thanks all - think I do suffer from uptight mother syndrome a bit, although I don't mean to.

Will try and chill and get her hearing tested.
