My son goes to a Catholic school and I know that he's behind regarding schoolwork. It sounds as if you've implied this to the mom by offering your time. She probably sees this too based on the work her daughter is bringing home. If they're wealthy you might even want to recommend a tutor to help her catch up. At my son's school reading, writing and rithmetic compete with religion, foreign language, Mass several times a month, etc. I think your "mom" just needs to review the material your class has been doing versus where she left off. Also, your student reminded me of a new student who joined my class (first grade) late last year. She also exhibited many immature behaviors. I think though that she was uncomfortable in the new setting with everyone and everybody unknown. She needed a lot of TLC. I can say now that I'm very proud of how far she came. Get the parent on your side the best that you can. They know that there are issues because they must see it at home with homework difficulties, etc. Keep focused on how the daughter is disadvantaged because she hadn't been taught what your kids already know. I'm sure that the mom will jump on board and hope to make it right. Good luck.
