The pupil may be faultless but do teachers ever really write that on reports?! In my experience (not just of my own reports, I hasten to add...) they tend to use understatement to prevent even the most industrious wunderkind being lulled into complacency.

My comment:

"correct" in French rarely means "correct" in English, and is usually best translated by a word like "proper", "decent", "adequate" etc.
