Poor report card results and no contact from teacher!

[2girlz]

I used to come onto this website to get help and guidance, I thought I would get that tonight however I seem to be getting a lot of criticism for not contacting the school more often. I am a full time worker and up until recently I was a single mum dealing with a lot and on my own. I am not perfect but neither is anyone else on this planet. I am not the only one in the situation of bad report cards and not knowing your child is struggling until it's too late. My daughter is very proud and obviously too proud to say something and let me know she is struggling (she may not even know she is struggling). I am not with my daughter while she is at school I WORK FULL TIME... Why can't the teacher send a letter home saying hey your daughter is struggling just letting you know or write a side note in her homework book next to her hand written marking. The school never seems to have a drama sending letters home when they need money. And If I knew the bus was crashing I would have swerved.
