I think we might be getting a bit down on the poor guy, knowing that someone you loved failed and wasn't capable of passing is very different from failing and knowing they could have passed. He might not be her father however she does seem to want to reward herself for failing, perhaps in his mind the way out of a cycle of failure is work rather than reward? People think differently, I know I would be upset if my brother failed his "exams" (basic literacy and numeracy tests for becoming a teacher, many students fail them each year!) and would likely berate him for doing so because I know he could pass them easily.
Failure and the recovery is very much a personal affair, he was perhaps insensitive however I can understand why he is disappointed in and for her.
