Before many of us on this board can offer our suggestions, we need a bit more information.
When you say she's not learning anything do you mean that she's very smart and the work is too easy? Or do you mean that she's very smart and yet she's failing? Or she's an average student but has failing grades?
I could continue this list. Please tell us more and we'll share what we've learned over the course of our own parenting and teaching adventures.
I am not exactly sure what you mean, is she an average student or she is an A student or her school is not at her learning level? Please be more specific so we can suggest or advise you in what exactly you need.
My daughter is in High School. She usually brings home B's & C's, but she says she feels dumb for example she says that her teacher teaches yet she learns nothing! Is their anything that i can do to help?
Have you already talk to her teacher about this problem, if not, is better to request a parent-teacher conference, so you and the teacher can help your daughter in what she is really having problems with.
Kassie: In your place, I would start by spending more time listening to your daughter -- she's talking about feeling dumb and not learning anything while she's earning Cs & Bs.
Why not start by asking her what she thinks would solve this problem? I've found that this question often helps me to understand what my own daughter is actually trying to communicate in these situations. You may find that her proposed solution has nothing to do with tutoring or helping her. Please don't think that I'm suggesting that you act on her proposed solution -- it may or may not be a good idea.
It's just that hearing how she thinks it could be solved will give you some clarity into how she is thinking about the problem of "feeling dumb and not learning in school."
in my point of view, sam houston is the worst high school a parent can send a child to in arlington, gang fights and drugs. and the facilty being so lazy they cannot teach the students right. send them to bowie, the teachers are more caring there
