[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its really difficult to give you advice when we don't know the specifics.  For example, it might be something that isn't worth drawing attention to, and will make you seem defensive if you do.  Or it may be something that you could approach the teacher who made the ding and ask her for a recommendation that puts it in perspective and is positive, which would take the sting out.  or it may be something to go to the school administration about.  But, again, its hard to know.  I do think that challenging it in the application process will do more harm than good. [b] Also, be really careful to make sure it is untrue.[/b][/quote]

This.

Please talk to the teacher first, if you have not already. It could be a factual error, which you can ask the teacher to fix (e.g., a score reported in the narrative doesn't match the actual score). However, if this is more of a character assessment, you may have little to stand on. Children can behave very differently in school compared to at home. Don't be offended if the teacher makes this assessment of your child.[/quote]
