Help, I really need emotional support here, eldest daughter has completely drained me already. She has been very unlucky so far and deserves to do so well, she has worked so hard. Firstly she is doing an unusual subject so started while her friends were relaxing on study leave. On tues she admitted leaving out a 14 mark queston! how do you simultaneously say it doesnt matter, not a big deal, while repeating the whole lecture about timing, reading the question without causing even more panic? Now we have just found out that a teacher has taught the wrong thing for a significant part of a paper! A tragic mistake by a teacher I respect very much- I understand that he planned his lessons too far in advance. She is already lacking in confidence and realises herself that she doesnt do herself justice in exams (never really recovered from 11+ exam) So I am trying desparately to be laid back and upbeat while inwardly feeling awful.
