"While this statement is correct, its use here is out of place. One who deserves full marks should not have them reduced without a valid reason, as that would be an injustice and could demotivate the student. It is not wise to mention this matter publicly; rather, it is more appropriate for the student to inform her guardian to speak with the administration."
