Ok, situation so far...
DD (8) used to attend local state primary. Large mixed class, DD is bright and was being left to her own devices once she'd completed the set work. Was bullied by her teacher and the school refused to deal with it (and I didn't realise the correct channels to complain through). DD loves music and is very musical. She was learning piano out of school.
Took her out of above school and she went for assessment at local chorister independent school. She got in and got a good % scholarship. She started playing flute which she loves and is doing well.
Trouble is she is now moaning about doing the homework and it's a nightmare getting her to do her music practise. She obviously cannot stay there without the music part (we struggle enough financially as it is with it!). She doesn't seem to enjoy the music as she did.
I am at my wits end, I really don't know what to do, there is another state school locally (she wouldn't have to return to the first one), should we persevere?
This is getting to me big time, I don't know what to do or even how to deal with it. Would appreciate any thoughts you have (but no debates on private/state please!)
