My little girl's smile

I have a strange look from my little daughter, Joaquim. She "told" me secretly that "she hate study" by writing on the paper...and continue with "if I don't study I don't feel good, how?" She is only 9, Primary 3. She further elaborated that she does not Primary 3, she should like to go back to Primary 2 or even Primary 1, whereby she was liked by her teachers. When I asked her why and reminded her that I have noticed that she is more cheerful in last year than this year. She explained that no one in the class like her inclusive of her teachers. I have contacted her form teacher several times via personal calls and emails. The given impression is that "she is not attentive in the class and did not hand up the assignment on time. Moreover, she was disliked by her classmates as no one want to pair with her during her PE lesson". After hearing such comments, I was hurt. Not because she may not performing well in academically, but I can sense that she was disliked by most of her classmates and her teachers too.

My girl is lonely. She further explained she only enjoyed in music, art (whereby her Primary 1 form teacher is teaching her), and detest especially Math and English! For Maths, I can understand as she does not have a logical thought and always need more time in her problem sum. However, for English, I was stunned by the remarks. She did scored well in Primary 1 and 2 with achievement of BAND 1.

I think this may due to her inattentiveness and because of that, she slowly lagged behind. With her behaviour in class, I believed that the English teacher may not like her too much as well and started not to focus over her.

Moreover, the overwhelming homeworks may be another reason why she is not happy either.

I really hope to change the situation.

Before she turn in, she gives me a big smile. She is so beautiful and adorable. How can I let my angel suffer?

Hope that I can find a solution sooner.

Joaquim, daddy love u.
