<p>Is she happy at her high school? You thought it was nuturing, etc, but what did she think? Were the tears about just the scores, or about the scores compared to how well she thinks her classmates did? If it was the former, yes-- it is probably a good learning experience (reality check and/or dealing with disappointment). If the latter, maybe she’ll learn perseverance. I hope, though, that when she chooses a college that it will be one where she can thrive and not just persevere.</p>
