My daughter recently began public school after attending a private school for the past 6 years (k4 - 4th grade). She is currently in the 5th grade and her teachers just informed me she is at least 1 to 1/2 yrs behind according to the public school standards. I thought providing my child with a private school education would give her a head start when she stepped into public schools because of the small classroom size and the curriculum, and she received nothing but A's B's there. I've spent thousands of dollars on private school, but it now it looks like I'll have to spend more for tutoring intensive work to catch up. Is there anything I can do about her former school?

Not really. Each state says that the state has to provide an education, but they don't have to provide a QUALITY education.
Private school is always behind for some reason in the early grades. Private and Parochial High Schools are excellent, but the grammar schools are not. When my niece went to kindergarten in a Catholic school she was doing "color the rabbits". The public school was doing computers and math. The parents who put their children in private grammar school usually do so for safety reasons, not thinking that the public schools have more to offer. Don't give up. Work with your child, be her teacher at home.
School is a partnership between teacher and parent. Homework reinforces what your child learns in school so work with her and show her because learning does not stop when the school day is over. If you do this everyday, your child will catch on and will succeed.

You can sue for anything, but I'd say your chances in this suit are very slim. You would have to prove that they were willfully negligent and you would have to show damagers. They could easily then drag up every last thing your child did wrong. It could end up with your child testifying and being attacked by the other side.
I understand your anger, but you'll have to move on. Luckily, you still have time to fix the problem.

Sending your newborn to college isn't a assure for acquiring intelligence. you need to participate on your youngster's studying procedure. Do you help her including her homework? I propose to envision it no longer DO it. Do you ultimate her grammar, her manners, answer her questions intelligently? In different words, do you help mildew your newborn, or basically willy-nilly enable her watch television exhibits that tutor undesirable manners or use undesirable grammar? each and every section she sees and hears at abode have better impression on her than what she is uncovered to at school no count number the score.
