C. has she always been slow in math & english ? anny other subjects is she also struggling with.. have her eyes tested, and reading tested first, then speak to the teacher about modifing the classes thorugh special education, you have to ask for an I.E.P indivual education program. This will help her, also on one of the cable channels they have a home work tutor, they also have home work hotline, check her school web pages they have resources

C.,
Have you asked for some help through the school? Usually in High School they have peer mediators as well as peer tutors. It's free.

Hi C.:

You're best bet would be to check with the school first. I know that many middle and high schools have college kids around to tutor the younger kids for free. (They get college credit for this so it's a win-win situation). Believe me, it's in the best interest of the school district to have as many kids do well as possible so if they don't have the college tutors available, many teachers will volunteer to assist as well. (Many teachers offer assistance during their "off" periods or during lunch and after school, as well. An added bonus is that if they are your child's teacher - they cannot charge you for the extra assistance). Good luck to you and your child!

God bless,
