[quote=Anonymous]Sixth grader DD has erratic grades in school.  We have other kids so we know that she is behind where they were at her age.  She doesn't like to read (unlike siblings).  She is in lowest group in school for math and english.  The school says she is OK but she scores low (below 30% in math) in standardized testing especially.  Most of her class seems to have done educational testing and now qualifies them for extra time (50%) for tests and gets other accomadations.  I am wondering if we should do the educational testing (so expensive!) so we can perhaps address some deeper issue and work toward that.  She feels like she is at a disadvantage because she doesn't get extra time to do her work.   Or should we consider a private tutor?  We tutor her ourselves but she takes it so personal when we do it and sometimes that leads to tears. Some of her issues seem to managing her schoolwork and staying on task.  She is very social and otherwise does well in school (participates in class and has many friends).  She doesn't go to public school.  Any suggestions or advice?[/quote]
