DD is 16 and in y12, studying 4 A Levels, including maths.
She is very bright, quietly confident and chilled. However, I found her crying over her maths homework today. This is most unusual for her, so I am worried. She had spent 2 hours on it and had done less than half. I asked her why she had so much and she told me that she has to catch up because the teachers have added an extra lesson but she can't ever go to it because it clashes with one of her other subjects. This seems very tough on her.
The teachers have said she can come to them if she wants help but I know she won't, so I am hoping the teachers can do something a little more proactive.
It's parents evening soon. What can I suggest as a constructive plan to make her feel more supported? I know teachers are massively overworked, so I want to bear this in mind and not be too demanding.
