[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else feel sorry for this other girl? Good grief. In any case, OP, I'm sorry your daughter has new competition. But she needs to realize that she's not the only one who wants to be valedictorian, and not the only one working hard for it. (Because it sure sounds like the other girl is also putting a lot into it, even with the tutor.) As others have pointed out, shit happens, and this won't be the first time she runs into something that feels unfair. I think the way you can help her most, OP, is by putting things in perspective for her. Teach her that being valedictorian really isn't important in the scheme of things. Help her see her own value in many other ways. Find some other goals she can find satisfaction in. And encourage her to keep doing her best even if there is more competition for valedictorian. (Heck, maybe that other student will move away again!)[/quote]
