[QUOTE="klmno, post: 486304, member: 3699"] That's the thing with me DJ- in this state, their method is to use whatever a kid and parent want as carrots to dangle over their heads. That's stupid if it's something constructive that most would think they should be encouraging. If a kid was in Department of Juvenile Justice and didn't give a squat about school, they'd be using it as a punishment or requirement. But the very fact that difficult child is doing well in academics (and Lord knows, it's all he does well in), then it becomes the 'carrot'. Along with that- this group home apparently has had ZERO kids go to mainstream school. They either get a GED after quitting or go to alternative school. Yes, a couple have used that to take a few classes at a community college. That's it. But does anyone in CSU look at that? NO And then I told super about difficult child's previous harming of self and allowing others to harm him and having scars on his body as a result. She said "well, then we will just order group home people to take him to therapy" I said the lady told me they had NO licensed MH prof. She said they would order them to take difficult child out into the community for MH counseling. I said Hmmm. She said "well, after OUR people evaluation him and determine that's what he needs". Uh Uh- and those "people" of theirs- they aren't MH profs and only will look at last paper from Department of Juvenile Justice- which isn't squat. This is a very closed system in this state- they couldn't care less what any licensed MH prof says- no matter if the person is on state level or not. [/QUOTE]
