But I think it was clear that she is better in English with your teaching than without. It is unfortunate that we often measure success or failure based on some "tests" set by others. I know very few of us can get away from that but do try to take in your successes as well, e.g., a lot of your students appreciate your effort. BTW, you need to set your priorities. If exploring journalism opportunities is your main goal, then that is what you should focus on. Dad Sorry to hear one of your top students did not pass the test.
