Daughter with dyspraxia is a few weeks into A levels at private school and not doing well. She is bright, works hard, but finds it hard to focus. Two teachers have obliterated her confidence, predicting an E and a U for subjects that she is used to getting high B's in. She now feels wholly demoralised and unworthy of being in these classes and no longer wants to continue in her favourite subjects. I can take this up with the school but there have been so many meetings that I no longer see this school as a viable option or a healthy place for her to be. Does anyone know if it is possible to take daughter out of school, coach her for a year then start A-levels afresh at local state school next September? I've never had to consider anything like this before and am feeling a bit out of my depth.
