In my opinion, whoever put your daughter on the spot in such a way simply shouldn't be teaching. Failing in such a circumstance could well have harmed her self-image in a way that will last and take much work to undo. Even if this had not possibly cemented in her mind the idea that she is too shy to perform in front of people, I think it was a terrible idea. My own son was singled out at preschool to the point of reading to the class, and I wasn't thrilled to learn about that either (and I gathered from him that he didn't want to do it, but went along because he was told to).
