Hi, my youngest DS is in yr 6 and up until now has had no issues at school. She does well in most subjects (already a 4a and 5c in Maths and Literacy tests respectively) The problem is that her new Maths teacher is pushing her with the higher level work in class. DS is finding it hard but coping. But if she doesn't complete "enough" or makes ANY errors, she has to come back at lunchtime and do it. This has been happening on at least 3 days a week. DS works hard during the lesson, does not chat and so it feels like she is doing her best. I feel uncomfortable with her missing her recreation time and she is miserable, her confidence in Maths has dropped because she is panicking about staying in at lunch time. If she was misbehaving in class and wasting her time then I would support the teacher's actions but it seems she is giving her all. Help!
