You’re the teacher and I claim my 5,000 Yen.
😂 sorry no.
I am a teacher though. Somewhat bizarrely I do occasionally tell pupils they are wrong, when they are right. Can’t think of an example, but I try to make them concede I’m right - they hardly ever will (nobody takes what I say seriously). Then talk about standing by your convictions when you know your right. Funny thing teaching.
Getting in touch with the school over this will make you look like what is now being called a lawnmower parent.

You've been given an opportunity to build resilience in your daughter, take it.
I’ve been given an opportunity to remove what little confidence my daughter has when trying to compete academically is what it feels like. Which makes me, and her, sad.
Is learning a competition? Not for me.
I don’t mean to be rude and it’s a shame your daughter was a little upset by what happened. But, surely she will soon forget all about it. Tell her she was right, to continue to answer questions and not dwell on it. There may be a risk that your sadness and concern that her ‘little confidence’ has been removed, may become more damaging.
I could be wrong.
Gents it is generaton snowflake . There are stereotypes to meet !

From that comment I should have said build resilience in both your daughter and yourself rather than just her. Seriously, this is a nothing incident blown out of all proportion. People are wrong all the time, me, you, your daughter, teachers, Teresa May. To err is after all, human.
Unless the teacher actually mocked your daughter or made a big deal about it you both need to move on.
ha, my lad was told off at primary school P5 I think - for declaring that a square was a rectangle. teacher decided that a square was *not* a rectangle... thankfully it's not dented his confidence in his maths..
