I make sure she does nice clean work at home so I know she is cabable, but the schoolwork that I see from school is horrible and looks like a 4/5 year old did it. Any suggestions?

Your child must have trouble concentrating in class expecially while shes around alot of students. I would take her out of school and get her a tutor or you can tutor her. If you don't have the time or the money you can get her a mentor who can spend time with her and help her realize how important school is. One case for her to do good at home and not at school is also that school is boring and not as much fun as at home. If you need a mentor for her tell her to IM me and I can help her with her school work and talk to her and you can be right there by her side.

All kids work at different speeds..i have 2 boys that are so different...one was speaking fluently at 18 months and is very very good at school and sport..the other didnt talk much at all until 3 and even now at 9 is not good at school and still doesnt speak well...but he is amazing with art type things and any type of mechanical toys...he goes for speach therapy too but the most important thing is whatever they are GOOD at...i focus on that...also help them to take pride in what they do..no matter at what level you see it at..nothing you do can change how your child sees it except positive reinforcment...so they are proud of thier own efforts.If you use negative comments you will just produce the child to feel they arent good enough...when im sure she has many great talents..so bookwork aint one???big deal.. Actually at school i was always told my books were too messy and now as an adult im told i have exceptionally great handwriting.Go figure...

I would schedule a meeting with her teacher, one on one. She or he has probably noticed the same thing you have and together you can come up with some ideas for helping her in school. It could be as simple as her talking with her neighbor or other distractions. I wouldn't ignore it though - now is the time to help her do her best and feel the reward of a job well done.

lol, that's mean. Just ask her to answer the same question as in the school work, explain her steps. Then proceed logically from there depending on her responses.
