Tonight I asked DD again about the school. She bursted into tears and she told me: 'I do not like first grade, I do not do anything right but it is all very boring. I want to stay at home and learn with you.'
I told her that unfortunately, homeschool is not an option in this country
I am not certain if I did right, but I told her as well, that if she does the effort to learn to read in Dutch I can advocate for her to be put in second grade, otherwise she is stuck in first grade. She looked half stressed out, half hopeful. I told her to sleep now and tomorrow when we are well rested we talked about the issue.
I knew she was getting bored, but I did not realize how bad it is....
