TOP 21…What is happening???

Today we got the kids' report card from their class advisers at VMS and imagine my surprise when I found out that my daughter slipped from being number 14 in the 1st grading (okay, I let that go because I figured, it was only the first quarter) then to number 15 in the second grading (okay still nothing to be fearful about since she slipped just one notch and we’d only be just five slots away from the Top Ten). But on the third grading and she slipped to number 21! Now it seems I don’t have much choice but to raise a howl!!! I wonder what is happening to my daughter??? I know she had made some good friends now and she’s relishing constantly being with them (with her lyre band practice and other get-together sessions after class) but I don’t think these are much cause for distractions on her part??? Does she need more tutoring? Maybe, but I think it’s too late for that now. Next year if she still doesn’t make it to the Top Ten during the first grading I think I have no choice but to get her a tutor. I don’t think I am still able to keep up with their lessons anymore. I guess all the cost is gonna be worth it just to ensure that my kid returns to the Top Ten circle.
