[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 120951, member: 3626"] It sounds like she may be failing deliberately, at least to some extent. If she's afraid of going on to 5th grade, sabatoging her work is an easy way to get around it. So, my consequence would be rather simple -- summer school -- and still going to 5th grade. If she'll let you help and check her homework, I'd definitely do that. I do know my daughter had a huge fear of 5th grade because it was the start of changing classes in preparation for middle school. The idea of having to deal with different teachers and class mates terrified her. Once she was in the 5th grade and started changing classes, it was somewhat better although getting her to do homework was somewhere on this side of impossible. There are advantages to public school in that there are more supports available. Also, depending on the private school, the demands may be too high for some of our kids. While they're capable of doing the work, the intensity and competition can be too much. [/QUOTE]
