[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]parents are EXTREMELY involved. they do feel the race stuff is a piece of it (like the school just expects her to be this way. she is one of few black kids in her grade/school) but they are also very frustrated that nothing they do seems to motivate her. [/quote] Then it sounds like this is an unhealthy dynamic all the way around. Good for the parents for recognizing and trying to take action, although thiis -- if you are describing situation accurately -- is a tough nut to crack. I would definitely start looking at private schools. She needs a place that will challenge her, encourage her to try more and let her fail when she needs to. But again, it would be helpful to know where they live or at least what part of the area we are talking about. There are lots of good schools that could work.[/quote]
