[quote=Anonymous]My first grader dd has started hating school. She says it's boring and too much work all day. It's not that the material is easy - if anything she struggles a little more than her peers. Dd has also started refusing to do after school activities. She says she just wants to do art. When she doesn't do an afterschool activity she is constructive drawing pictures for about 20-30min then spends the rest of her time complaining that her younger sister is bothering her and frankly not being nice to her sister. She refuses to do her homework until the morning before school. I'm sort of at the end of my rope and this is only first grade. She's completely unmanageable - I've tried being strict and she just rebels. I've tried being nice and her behavior is downright disrespectful. Are there some kids that just need an alternative learning environment ? Should I be looking at private schools - if so what type ? Thanks ![/quote]
