Want to pick your brains on something - I really want to believe my daughter and my gut says she’s telling the truth - but we all know that things aren’t always what they seem.
DD is one of those kids who always does their best, is kind, polite, and excels in most subjects. Never had a sanction or demerit in her life, and school reports always sing her praises. Just an all round nice kid and she makes me exceptionally proud.
She is at an independent school and holds a scholarship in a creative subject. Her teacher this year is new to the school. Just got her first report and this teacher has given her the lowest possible grade. DD is in floods of tears and really doesn’t understand it. Then she “clicked”. She sits next to and looks very similar to another girl who is very easily distracted - low level disruption, chatting etc. There have been several instances where the teacher has told my DD to stop talking (using her name) when she isn’t- it’s this other girl.
DD is convinced that the teacher has got them muddled up. It is literally the only thing she can think of. I mean, just how likely is this or is she just trying to come up with an excuse to cover her arse?
