Our DD shut down horribly in K, to the point where she tried to pretend she didn't know how to draw a letter T properly (she'd been writing beautifully for over two years by then). Our solution was a complete school detox. We pulled her out and homeschooled her for the rest of the year, giving her work at her appropriate challenge level, which rekindled her love of learning.

She's back at school and still not appropriately challenged, but it's not as bad. More importantly, she doesn't let the school crush her soul anymore.
