Thanks everyone for your imput. Grinity I did reply to your post and look at your website but it doesn't seem to have made it to the site yet. Perhaps it will in the next day. I explain more fully the situation.

Thanks again. Re: The teacher. It did seem to me and my husband and mother that she had taken a disliking to my daughter and was making excuses such as she had talked to her friend twice in class and disobeyed a direction. She also gave her B's and C's for behaviour and effort. In the past my daughter had always scored all A's and the teachers always commented on what a pleasure she was to teach. She also scored A's this year in all her subjects that were with different teachers such as art and music.

Since I've kicked up a fuss the teacher has been much kinder to my daughter. I think she had set her opinion against her. I suspect this may have affected her marks but I don't suppose I'll ever know for sure. My daughter never complained about her teacher except to say that she'd never ask her to answer a question when she put up her hand or help her much when she was confused and asked for help. This teacher, however, is highly regarded at the school.
