My middle daughter was fine with kindergarten and about 1/2 of first grade. When she got to second grade she was a littel behind, but as the year went on she got more and more behind. We had a horrible teacher for second grade and would offer no help to the kids who were behind and she refused to give instructions more than once because she believed they should be old enough to get it with only one time of instructions!! I got materials from on line tutoring sites and printed out second grade work for her to work on at home. Over the summer I hired a tutor to catch her up. She is in third grade and is an A-B student. Sometimes you have to take over your childs education and make sure they get what they need. My daughter still gets behind, but I am quick to get back on line and get her materials to help her study and get what she needs. We also have a much, much better teacher this year! We looked into private schools at one time, but with my older daughter already in junior high and another one ready for kindergarten I didnt want to get into multiple schools. I didnt look into home-schooling, for a variety of reasons.
Hope things work out for you. Try going online and getting some ideas and papers to work on with her in your spare time and on weekends. I found a lot of really great materials and some were actually fun for her to do.
