[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 421836, member: 2322"] Unless the school is threatening to hold her back, which I doubt, I think as other posters have said, she will hopefully be dealt with appropriately in an ED/Learning Disability (LD) classroom. Perhaps I should have said that it isn't the end of the world if she falls a bit behind on her studies. We are getting sidetracked from the real issue. Threatening her with holding her back probably isn't motivating her. She is where she is in terms of her learning and when her mental health issues get addressed she may be able to make major learning leaps. The issue is whether a constant struggle on the homefront to get difficult child to do her work is helping either difficult child or Jen. Doesn't seem to be. Some battles are not worth engaging in. Frankly it seems to me for this kid to have the chance to go to school and catch up on her work her daily life needs some regulation--normal bedtime, normal time waking up. Maybe not a whole lot of school work. Does she read books? Maybe she just does reading of her choice during the day with the goal of getting her regulated to a sufficient point that she can think about going to school successfully next year. [/QUOTE]
