This is very sad. I hope you find a better school for her. Is homeschooling possible there?

I could see where she is coming from. People often equal the ability to speak foreigner language with intelligence. From my own experience I can tell that one gets treated very differently if she cannot speak the local language well enough. Hopefully your daughter's Dutch will catch up with her classmates soon. Kids at this age usually do amazingly well.

Good luck
