My daughter recently got disappointed in school. Though she expected to get lower rank than the previous quarter, she didn't expect it will turned out to be on the 13th place. She got the highest score in some subject but turned out to be lower than what she is expecting. As parent, I feel her sadness and disappointment especially that I saw her crying and bursting her anger for she will that things had been unfair. I talk to some of her teacher and soon discover that there are unrecorded points which brought about the lower grades. The teacher eventually corrected her card. It doesn't matter anymore even if she wasn't recognized on the quarterly recognition day in school but what matter is she got now what she deserved.

always encourage your daughter to do better at all times, even if this wont be seen in her grades. Remember our knowledge is in our head not in theirs. True that it can really be disappointing but i am sure that there's always positive things that she can get from it. Her patience was tested and im sure she is challenged and she will do better next time.

I always talk to her about it and told her not everything in this world is fair but we should be able to handle unfairness with positive attitude to turn it a good starting point for a better future.

Thanks for chave's share. I do agree with you that our knowledge is our head not in theirs. We should encourage your child to do better at all times, even if this won't be seen in her grades. We should tell her: we can handle the unfairness with positive attitude to turn it a good starting point for a better future. Maybe the teacher make a mistake, she will not make mistakes always. Then the last success is belong for you.

I experienced that one too. When I was in first year high I also had the highest score in my section. But my wicked teacher didnt recorded my score, her reason I'm not yet paid on my test paper. I'm so disappointed

The good thing about it, is that the teacher is humble enough to accept his fault. But for the other one, I don't trust his judgement in giving fair grades to his students.

I tend to believe that there are times in the lives of all of our children where they will be disappointed in themselves. That said, I think as parents as much as it hurts us to see our children hurting, it is important for us to try to stay strong for them. The reason for this is that children sometimes view falling short in things as being a failure and as a parent we really have to show them that they have not failed.
