DD is in year 9. It is a 14 plus school but has taken year 9s for the first time this year.
Up to the end of year 8 dd did Spanish once a fortnight and French weekly.
DD was predicted a high C to a B in French but they did not assess the Spanish.
DD has just moved to a new school where they teach Spanish, French and German. DD hated French and wanted to do Spanish. Only 2 of the children in her year have chosen Spanish so she is in a mixed year 9/year 10 class.
They are doing basic work, numbers, what is your name, how old are you etc. I have seen her work book.
Her Spanish teacher has taken her out of class today and said that she is struggling (after one week) and should consider a move to German. DD did a taster of German and hated it.
If they were doing complicated Spanish then I would force the move but they seem to be starting from foundations.
DD has come home in floods of tears today. She has low confidence and self esteem and is the only one who has been taken out of class so it has hammered her tonight.
Any advice greatly received.
