[quote=Anonymous]Can you get her some tutoring or academic coaching in a different style than what her teachers are using? I actually went to TJ and excelled in science there due to the analytic, problem-solving, practical-application style of instruction. As a college pre-med, I came close to flunking many of my 100- and 200-level science courses because they relied on rote memorization and multiple-choice tests, which I am just not good at. Key example: I took a pre-req class as a co-req with the associated follow-on seminar because my schedule couldn't accommodate both otherwise. I got a C in the pre-req (memorizing and multiple choice!) and an A in the seminar (critical reading and applying/advancing concepts). It might be that this pressure-cooker style of teaching is just not serving your daughter well - but a change in perspective could provide her the confidence she needs.[/quote]
