How does your daughter feel with work? Is she learning and does she feel challenged? Is the slowness across all subjects or just some? Two things come to mind; 1. Either the work is to easy, or 2. She is genuinely being slowed down by something which could be anything out of well over a hundred possibilities.

Id imagine your daughter is articulate and she might be able to shed some light on the subject. This can be a great starting point in determining what the problem is.

Personally, in my humble view, I would much rather the school make accommodations than simply sitting back and ignoring said behavior. One reason being that your daughter might genuinely be struggling from it emotionally, and letting that go unchecked does more harm then good. Second most schools tend to look down on conduct and behavior more than a legit diagnosis which might simply require a little extra class room modification.


But, as mentioned it is difficult to say what your daughter's school may or may not do.
