I think there is a whole lot to what you posted. I excelled at school in the lower grades but I went to a school where they were trying the “track” system for subjects. My parents moved and I ended up in a really lousy jr. high followed by a worse high school.
I hated school by the time I was in high school and was failing nearly every subject when I quit after my Sophmore year- I felt like it was a prison. After I quit school my mother homeschooled me so I could pass the GED; this was in the early 70s before the Homeschool popularity. Mother was on her own in uncharted water because I was the baby of a big family and all my siblings did well in school and finished.
I have to give mom a lot of credit because I excelled academically in college. It was really amusing too, because I went to college when I would have if I had stayed in high school. My peers could not figure out how the class dummy/dropout from high school was setting the curve in college classes.LOL
My youngest daughter followed in my footsteps after her older sisters were the nerds in high school. She is now at the top of her class in a medical tech. program; she is loving school again.
Congratulations to you and your daughter.
