Hello. It sounds like you're saying a couple of different things...Was it the teacher who has commented on your daughter's slowness in doing her classwork? (Homework is something you would be more likely to see, and realize if it's being done slowly.) Now you've also mentioned that your daughter is complaining about other kids not liking her. It seems to me that you might want to ask the teacher for more details, about both subjects. Is your daughter's slowness because she's a perfectionist, and wants everything done exactly right, or is she slower because she's having difficulty understanding the assignments and doing the work? If it's the latter, perhaps you want to request that the school do an evaluation for possible learning disabilities. Even smart children can have LDs, and often they don't become evident until 3rd or 4th grade...Up to that point, students are being taught to read, but after that, students are expected to be able to read to learn.

Most children, at the younger grades, don't pay much attention to what students around them are doing, and they seek recognition from adults, like the teacher. As children get older (3rd, 4th grade) they do become more aware of other kids, and start to pay more attention to peers and form friendships. If other kids are noticing that your daughter is slower doing her work, and if the teacher has to keep reminding your daughter to do things, maybe the other kids are feeling that the teacher will think they're slow, too. If your daughter is quiet and if she's reluctant to join in activities on the playground, etc., other kids may just choose to go off on their own. Does your daughter participate in any after-school activities, like Girl Scouts or maybe sports or music or dance lessons? Those are good ways to help a child make friends with more people than just those in her immediate class. I hope this helps.
