[QUOTE="Josie, post: 240828, member: 1792"] She has come up with some ideas like: 1) one more month of swimming and if she doesn't go often enough we can keep her cell phone until she pays us back for the extra month we paid 2) she will not go to 8th grade math but will study Algebra on her own husband refuses to even discuss 1) and I would feel kind of silly proposing 2) to the school when she didn't do all of her LA work last quarter when she was attending the class. So, I guess we are not following TEC. I like the TEC theory for kids with anxiety or other problems. For this difficult child, who is simply defiant at times, we were never able to resolve any Basket B items without making them Basket C. And what about the fact that she has known this would happen all year and had it almost happen to her before? Just last week, I drove her to the pool and she knew she had to go that day (because she had already skipped 3 times that week) or go back to PE. If she doesn't have to go to 6th Grade PE because she stayed home from school, aren't we just setting ourselves up for continued school refusal to get her way? On the other hand, especially if we don't get the truant officer involved, I'm not sure what options we have. I don't really want to homeschool her, too. [/QUOTE]
