Based on virtually all of my own actual experience with children (from infants through teens), Colleen is right. If you can hear with real empathy why your daughter is resistant to her classroom situation, you might be astounded by a turnaround in what she probably sees as simple emotional survival. Something about school, the teacher, her classmates, or even the level of stimulation available to her are a deep problem for her.
There is a wonderful book based on empathetic communication that actually discusses real-life situations similar to yours. Read a bit of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, and Listen So Kids Will Talk. here: http://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Kids-Will-Listen/dp/038081....
You can learn how children can and do propose their own solutions to this and other classic child-rearing problems.
Nancy's idea of setting up a reward system may also help in the short run. That can create a new problem, though, if you rely solely upon external rewards. They usually motivate for a bit, then stop working, because what children really need is an internal sense of reward, accomplishment, and satisfaction.
Good luck. I was a little girl like your daughter once. I would have loved some caring, compassionate listening from the adults in my life. And I worked for three years tutoring at-risk high school kids using my suggested techniques, with great success.
