Seussical
and its a good thing.
difficult child 1 started going half days to the public high school from her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) this year. She is a senior. She had been having some problems with a certain girl in one of her classes. She had discussed with staff and with the vp/ counselor at school. All good choices. :bravo:
The school talked to this other girl yet the threats etc did not stop. So difficult child 1 not knowing what else to do skipped that class and went to a structured study hall. :whew:
Then she went after that to talk to the vp again. The other girl was removed from her class and now difficult child 1 feels safe again.
When I was originally told something happened at school with difficult child I cringed hardcore. Then I was told she skipped a class and I thought wow typical teen type behavior (I know shame on me for being excited about a major no no). Then I found out the whys and thought wow she actually used semi reasonable judgement.
Since she had tried the proper way to start with to handle this and it still didn't resolve they are not giving her a consequence. She was told however any future skipping and she will be held accountable.
Just thought I would share.
