Really, at this point, what are the options you have?
- DD could stay in the class, regardless.
- You could keep her in the class and communicate with the teacher on a daily basis so DD can't hide things. This could be ramped down as she improves her study skills.
- DD could be moved back to her other class.
- DD could be "sentenced" to EPGY.
I believe, having spoken with the teacher, that EPGY is off the table. That was for if dd worked hard and couldn't keep up (to avoid the embarrassment). B/c she isn't working hard and her grades are suffering due to goofing off (plus she's creating problems for other kids by talking to them throughout class), her options right now are as follows:
- Bring her grade up to a B or get it awfully close and show the teacher that she is working hard to improve and stay in the class; or
- Go back to the straight 5th grade math class.
