[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 597128, member: 1550"] First of all, being an extreme dog lover, I'm so sorry about your foster dogs. I hope the one with parvo can be saved. Secondly, your daughter has to be the one who does her work. You can't make her do it. Even at her age, it is best to remember that the one who didn't do the work was her, not you, and that you can't force her to succeed in school. She may decide it's a good idea to do so later on, but either way this is on her shoulders. If the school failed to help with the IEP, then get an advocate and hope it's a good one. I found that once high school started, even with an IEP the kids are expected to do more and more on their own and get less help. At least, that is how it was for both Sonic and Jumper. Sonic retained his IEP, but did more and more on his own. Jumper was changed to a 504 and barely used it. I don't know if it's like that in most schools, but they both got the message...you're growing up so you have to handle more and more stuff yourself, even with disabilities. Hugs and I'm sorry you are so stressed. Is there an alternative school in your area? We have one and it's pretty good for kids who just don't cope well in a conventional environment. Some kids who were never expected to graduate did so in this different school setting. If your community offers one, you may want to check it out. [/QUOTE]
