It's nice how much she kept trying despite not being able to speak English properly (or understand it). The school should probably assign her a guide or something though (and hopefully there's some type of special curriculum or extra English lessons involved).
Edit: Reading some of the comments and just hearing how vastly different school was for people (I'm assuming in the U.S.) shows we REALLY need a more uniform education system. Not a curriculum but apparently the fundamentals (like how many classes in a day). Then again, I think everyone realizes elementary and middle school are largely a scam (/pointless).
