As a teacher, I would suggest trying to talk to your daughter (does she get along with her teacher, is the coursework too easy/difficult, does she get along with her classmates, etc.) and then talk to her teacher (ask what discipline she has tried, if the problems are worse around certain times of the day or certain students, etc). After that, try to get everyone (including your daughter) together for a conference. Hopefully this will help you get to the root of the problem. It could be a conflict in personality between your daughter and the teacher, it could be related to other students in the classroom or to the difficulty of the schoolwork. If this is completely new behavior and nothing has changed at home, there is quite possibly something going on at school. Good luck!

She is a 10 year old, coming from a broken family. If she won't listen to her teacher, may she needs counciling. Sometime's this helps. It is hard to go to school and see all her other friends ,( in her mine) these friends either comes from a broken home like her's, or she think's they all have a better home live than most. Pay attention: look to see what kinds of friends she is hanging with. She is where the peer pressure start's really getting going. She need's to know that both parent's love her, no matter what. If she get's smart with you, tell her you love her anyway. My daughter's did that to me, " we hate you", your answer, I love you anyway. Any thing she say's to you, the same answer. If her friends have older brother's or sister's, it is exploreing time. What is sex? It is forbidden, and that's the word that get's them going. Try the councelor first. You have to get inside her head, and she is not going to let you. But prservant's win's out. Set on her and set on her hard and all the time. It is hard going, but one or the other can do it. Good luck, GIRL'S are the hardest to raise.
My little boy's cried when they were little, little girl's start it at an early preteen age! I fell for you, you have a rough road ahead and Good Luck!

maybe there is something going on at school. maybe she is having more trouble than she did last year with her studies. kids who are having trouble often act out, and misbehave to cover up the fact that they dont understand what they are supposed to be studying. there could also be some reason why she isnt happy at school this year. maybe its a different teacher, or someone isnt being so nice to her in class. if your certain there isnt anything going on at home. i would take a deeper look into the school, and what may be really going on.

you need to get to the heart of her problem, it is going to take some time to find out, it could be that she is bored and needs more things to stimulate her mind, it could be a hormonal thing, sometimes if they start their period they think they are going to die and don't want to share that with anyone. Or there could be more than meets the eye, usually when children act out they are battling something inside. Have you had her hearing tested and also tested for ADD or Dyslexia, there could be a learning disablity. So please have her checked out. Good luck and God bless & put angels on your pillows.

If I was in your position I would sit down with your daughter and your ex and together find out whats on your daughter's mind,and see if you can help her solve it.Coming from a broken home I acted out in class and had lots of fights in school.Each child has different ways of dealing with the pain,most blame themselves when people divorce.good luck to all of you
