I've been living in loja Ecuador with my daughter for two months leaving my husband and 19 year old son in the states. I'm not so sure about my 12 year old daughter education. I enrolled her ion liceo de loja, the same school her brother went to when we lived here. In that time my daughter was 3 or 4 while her brother was 12. He was able to adapt and learned the language faster because of the Spanish he knew before.
But our daughter is a totally different case.
While they do have English classes the only classes she's not failing in is math. I've noticed she's been a lot more anxious and stressed than usual. Not saying she was calm before, but now I very obvious how much this is affecting her. Several times I have found her crying in her room because "it's too much". She has broke done twice in school, the first time she texted me telling she didn't feel well. I thought she was sick and picked her up when I asked what was wrong she ended up crying in front seat saying she was scared of possibly re-doing the year. She's alway been in the top 10% of her year so I understood and had a talk with psychologist but she didn't seem to get it. Just this Monday she told me that she lost it in first period and ended up crying while drinking tea to calm her down. It took almost two hours. Then that was followed up by how her music teacher lectured her on why she didn't do the homework. He said "stop making excuses and do the work" and ended up emberesing her in ground of the class.
On the topic of teachers as far as I know it of her 12 teacher she only gets along / likes 4 the rest seem like they don't really understand they she don't know what their are saying. The other week Im pretty sure she faked being sick and was willing to get blood test, just so she didn't have to see her science teacher. I can also see some form of anxiety when she's asked to read out loud, write, and or even talk to friends in fear of teasing. In a parent teacher conference her science teacher, that I'll just call Vlady told me she wasn't doing her homework, which I wanted to respond to saying that I put notes in her agenda saying that it confused her but I kept my mouth shut.
Please I want her to socialize and meet kids her age but I'm considering homeschooling, any suggestions will be appreciated
