[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Update: DD did take it to the teacher and said she didn't understand why it was corrected to "affect" when "effect" was correct. [b]DD reports teacher seemed slightly annoyed and convinced she was right, but didn't push it. [/b]So I guess we'll leave it at that.[/quote]

Probably because her mother told her to be assertive and demand to know why the teacher had done it.  [b]Student should have given the teacher the benefit of the doubt. [/b] 
OP says being "kind" is more important than being "right."  Sounds like those are just words to her.  Giving the teacher the benefit of the doubt would have been "kind."[/quote]

What, we are tolerating "alternative facts" in school now?[/quote]

No.  But, with this mom's guidance, DD likely went to the teacher and said "you made a mistake, you are wrong."  She could have approached it differently.  Like,"Ms. X, can you explain this to me?  I don't understand why you changed it."
And, what did the teacher do to "seem annoyed"?  It could have been timing, as well.

It was clear that OP did not want her DD to approach the teacher graciously.[/quote]

OP here. You are so full of shit. God.[/quote]

The teacher was annoyed because she was convinced she was right, not because DD told her she would not be correcting the paper and why. [/quote]
