I feel so sad for her and cross with myself. We moved her from a small private school to a large state 6th form for year 12. She wanted to go (she was bullied and numbers were tiny). She loved her new school at first but has now admitted she's really struggling with the subjects History Biology and RS. She seems to be doing OK in rs predicted a high C. But the other two are a struggle. She isn't particularly interested in the topics for history and she is finding it very very difficult. She says she's been working very hard and she certainly seems to be, but she's not getting the results. She has just had an outburst saying she's desperate to be clever and she hates being stupid. Her essays are garbled and badly structured and despite some advice from the school they don't seem to be improving. I now think we made a mistake moving her. She said her tutor today was dismissive and just told her to work harder. She's been assessed by the learning support and given extra time in exams but I dint have anything in writing about this and her teachers seem unaware of it. I don't know what to do. I really really wish I'd pushed for her to drop biology and do photography but she really didn't want to, she felt so confident and now she's in bits. I've emailed the school to see if I can go in and chat but any online advice welcome.
