I hope that it is worth it for her. I believe that it is, but she has somewhat of a victim mentality where she thinks that there is nothing she can do to make stuff work -- it must just be too hard and she isn't smart enough b/c she can't get an A without paying attention and doing the work. That really bothers me and is something we have been working on for some time.
The teacher has, apparently, spoken with her but said that she does handle dd in a "gingerly" fashion. I suspect that is b/c dd cries when confronted and is sensitive. She really does feel bad, but she doesn't have enough of an internal locus of control to feel like she has the power to change things when it appears to me that the control lies entirely with her.
I'll let you know in a few weeks how the quarter ended.
