    Erm....what you do at home is irrelevant, the school is telling you what level your child is at compared to others the same age, so they are not stupid.

    You obviosuly need to spend time with the kid concentrating on English only, maybe talking a mixture of the two is confusing her, as the younger brain cannot define a clear difference as we can, so they are blending into one.

    Gotta agree with that it be just the same if a child was in Phill and their tagalog was below standard which affected the social interaction with their peers if the teachers didn't let you know you wouldn't be happy.

    If they return your Baby late do you charge them overdue fine

    I know of many Kids that speak two Languages ie parents tongue and English.
    Many speak English with Kids from a simliar background to them and even their parents when younger from what they told me.

    Ask the local Newsagent if your baby can do a newspaper round.

    out of the house and earning money can never start them working young enough
