If your teacher mis-marks something do you tell them?

So, DD's spelling test last week - marked, I think, by the TA. Lower mark than usual. We think, 'ello, what's going on here?

Now, admittedly it isn't always possible to tell with her handwriting, but on examination it became clear that she had several spellings correct which were marked as wrong. Four in total, I think.

So, is pointing this out
a) unbelievably petty
b) supportive and what you'd expect from a good parent
c) tiresomely pushy
d) a waste of time?

Teachers'-eye views welcome too.

The teacher should be marking the test, not the TA.

TA's are there to support the teacher's teaching, not to undertake professional duties ie teaching, assessments etc.
