School rules

Varsha came home the other day and said that she had to write an hindi worksheet at school. She told me that she knew which letters come after but gets confused with the letters which come before and especially with 'ch' and 'j'so she asked her friend clarified with her before writing.

I did not say anything so she looked at me and said, 'Mummy you only say na that if we do not know something we can take help from others'
I smiled and told her that it was ok with me but, as we follow some rules at home.. the school also has rules which we need to follow when we are at school. Their rule is that while doing worksheet we do whatever we know even if we are not sure of it.

She kept quiet for a minute and then said,'School is stupid' and ran off.

I don't know whether my response was appropriate or not and I am also not sure whether she will be able to differentiate the situations and adjust accordingly. I feel we can only make the children aware of different situations which are around us and at the same time not get into what is right or wrong.
