[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 223148, member: 6326"] When I was researching the continuation schools because the family coach recommended one, I spoke to person in the DSS. They have huge problems with kids returning from these schools and we are not talking real behavior modification regardless of the fact that the courts sometime use them as punishment. The students are allowed mobilephones and they can use them every day from 19:00 - 21:00 and they have to stay in the dorm. The problem is adjusting to a live without the enclosed environment you will find always in every dorm. They do find new friend but they are also surrounded by people 24/7. They are almost never alone. At some schools they even call the group in a dorm a family. Once they return home their old peers have moved along. They are gone. Of course they start in school again, but it is different. So here they can have started an aftercare project with an adult mentor and support meetings. It is costly but most drop out of their education if such a aftercare support is not established. The numbers prove it. As I stated in a previous post, I dont think that a boarding school is the answer. It is more about self-esteem. She thinks too little of herself. Is there not a single area where she excels?
