DD 14 is so worried about school that she keeps asking to be homeschooled. She seems to be worried her grades in English aren't good enough because she only gets 5+ or 6- when they think she should be getting 7 by end of this school year (year 9). Both her dad and I work from home so she thinks it would be easy for us to homeschool her, (but we are working!) She says she's unhappy at school for lots of reasons but can't or won't explain further. Hating having to send her out the door to school each morning so unhappy. The school has a really good reputation so not sure if their expectations are too high or if DD is struggling to keep up. So far all her reports have been good, and parents evenings full of praise. However something's making her very unhappy at the moment and I'm at a loss to work out how to help.
