[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have an aunt who repeated several classes(grew up in different country where you will stay in a class until you can meet the grade expectations). She barely made it to middle school and was 4 classes behind. 
Guess what? She is a nurse and is well liked at the hospital where she works. She had to work much harder than most students I know. But she passed all her exams and the nclex on the first try. She makes 80K a year, and her husband makes about 100K. They have 2 children and a very happy and comfortable.

One of their daughters is a lot like her. She is extremely slow in middle school in this area. She is about 4 grades behind average in Math and writing and  a little immature for her age. The school, other support and interventions have done everything to come up with some kind of a diagnosis and nothing particular seems to be the problem. She is just slow. She is her mother's carbon copy in looks as well. We try to reassure her that her mother struggled with school but her hard work and determination overshadowed her challenges in the end.

Your daughter will have to work harder than most, but she will be most likely be fine if she is determined.[/quote]
