[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends. If it was a mistake (like a section of the newsletter that says "new records broken this month" and my kid broke one, and it was left off), and my kid cared, and the kid was less than 8-9 years old, I would speak up. If it was a judgement call (like they usually put accomplishments of a similar level in the newsletter) I wouldn't, and would go with the "focus on what you've accomplished! Success is it's own reward!" path. Once my kid got to be in the 8-9 range, I would work with him or her on advocating for themselves. "Oh, you're right, your record was left off. Hmm. How do you think we could get that fixed?" And then maybe help them to type an email or make a phone call to correct the error. [/quote]
