DD1 is year 2 at our local primary school. Went to see her teacher 2 weeks ago to see how she's getting on - she has had some settling issues in year 1, a dreadful year in fact for her, and obviously I am keen to check on how she is progressing. When I asked how her maths/english is coming along, her teacher reluctantly told me her maths is 'below average' and she is struggling. I have been doing what I can with her at home but to be honest I struggle myself so am not best placed to teach her the maths, even though it's simple stuff the way she is taught is completely different to how I was taught many years ago.
I have since asked for extra help for her at school, only to be told unless she is gifted and talented or very very poor at maths, there is no extra help. We have now traded school meals in order to pay for tuition.
What does your school offer, if anything?
