[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 151498, member: 1498"] For some odd reason, school refusal is always treated like a disciplinary problem and not an anxiety -- medical -- problem. Consequently, authoritarian neanderthals like the principal make things worse. I'm not saying that a more supportive approach will make a child want to go to school but it won't add to the already existing anxiety problem. Most kids would love to be able to go to school and be like everyone else but some just .....can't. Oh, and as for the comment about the school system not being the appropriate place for your child, tell the guy you'll be find with an IEP that provides for homebound instruction. Ask him how soon he can arrange it. Be aware that you have been put on notice that this guy is going to try to force your child out of the system. That's what calling the cops is about. [/QUOTE]
