[quote=Anonymous]At a private school?  I would escalate and I don't escalate.  If your daughter has tried to make an appointment to receive guidance from the teacher on how to improve her performance and isn't being given straightforward feedback, make an appointment yourself to see the teacher.  At our private, we have scheduled conferences 2 times per year.  My daughter is struggling mightily with one teacher.  She has been miserable in one class this year.  Miserable.  Grades lower than normal and she feels like the teacher does not like her.  She is engaging with the teacher to get feedback on why her grades are not what she wants them to be.  We talked to the teacher during conferences and determined that our daughter is the one with the problem.  So we came home and told our daughter to shape up.  This teacher is new to the school and has different standards for in class work than the previous teacher for the subject.  The standards are 100% appropriate and only beneficial to the students so our daughter needs to meet them and stop complaining.  The teacher isn't as warm and as encouraging or supportive as I might like, but that is the way of the world.

Before we met with the teacher, I would have said the teacher was the problem having heard only my daughter's complaints.
