I am so frustrated, upset, angry, and depressed right now....
Delaney is soooo smart....outside of school. She's so articulate, has an amazing vocabulary, and can convey understanding of things far higher than her age should reflect. But at school, she doesn't care. She won't take her time. She wants to be the first one done, and gets sloppy. We (and the teacher) have tried everything we can think of to get through to her to try her best. She just doesn't care.
So, the teacher said today that she feels it would be best for Delaney to repeat the 2nd grade.
I can't even convey my feelings right now.
