A bad paper should not become her whole identity

Our teenage daughter had one disappointing assessment and a relative immediately called her unmotivated. The label deserves correcting, though doing it in front of everyone risks drawing even more attention to her. Any experience with stopping these remarks quietly?

    I correct the word briefly and talk with the child alone later.
