"Whatchadoin?" Mid year restructuring

My oldest daughter has been going to youth group (that makes me feel old) at my sisters church.  It gives her a chance to meet new friends and be away from parents, but since her aunt is the small group leader I don't worry about her.  Long story short, last month my sister informed me, "Charry has been telling the other girls that she's failing classes."

I was a bit surprised.  First of all, she's not failing any classes.  I'm a pretty harsh grader but she is still a solid B student.  Secondly, why on earth did she think she was failing!

So we sat down for a Parent/Teacher conference and went over grades together.  After reassuring my child that she was doing fine, we talked about what she needed to feel successful.  

In the end we decided to change how we did a few classes.  We divided her classes into ones she was comfortable doing on her own with mom just grading at the end of each unit and those mom needed to be more actively involved in.

Now she has "student led" and "teacher led" classes.  This gives me a bit more work during the day to day schooling.

But seeing her happily mastering new ideas and concepts makes it worth it, after all this is why we homeschool.
