[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 428174, member: 1233"] I am sorry that the school would not let difficult child go to the dance. in my opinion that is crazy. Did you try to call the Superintendent of schools to see if there is a policy on this? What reason did they give you? I think it is wrong to not let her in - just as I think home school students should be able to go to dances and activities at the local school. their parents pay taxes to support the schools just like the other parents. As for your oldest, you need to tell the school that she has to handle all of that herself. You are not her legal guardian anymore and she has chosen another family. The school needs to talk to her and the ohter family instead of you. it is policy at MANY schools that students cannot sign themselves out even if they are 18. It is a way of trying to keep parents involved and "in the loop" as to what their kids are doing. It also keeps a kid who is 18 and bored from leaving. many pcs will accept no if they hear it from the school and will go back to class. Not all, but that is what they are hoping for with this. Also some have sued the school if their 18yo signs out and is then in an accident they argue that the school is supposed to keep them there until they have graduated or dropped out. Next time they call about her, tell them that you have no info for them and that you cannot be involved because your daughter has demanded this. She is an adult and is able to push you out of her life and has, so now they must deal with her and the family she is living iwth. Don't let them tell you the problems and ask for your help. You cannot help in any real way and it just adds stress to your life that you really cannot afford. Having MS means you need to remove as much stress from your life as possible. This means doing all you can to NOT own problems like this. If you don't figure out how to have a life that is calm it is going to make the disease progress a lot faster than it might otherwise.
