[quote=Anonymous]If, as you say, "sh*t hit the fan" last year, you need to take a deep breath and calm down. There could be 10000001 reasons, besides or in addition to learning issues, that are contributing to the situation. Teenage years are hard.

I did absolutely terrible in high school academically. Went to community college, then university, then law school. I have a very successful career etc. I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) in my mid-20's.

I understand how frustrating this all can be.. believe me, she is likely also very frustrated. Have you worked with specialist that can assist the school and your daughter with approaches that may help her (audio books vs written books or in addition to written books, longer testing times or verbal test etc)? Is there any ADHD going on, would medication possibly help?

There are lots and lots of options but nothing is going to be a quick solution. Also, it may be helpful to you to read about how females are often able to over compensate to disguise disabilities/learning differences.

Wishing you and your daughter success.
