[QUOTE="change, post: 143008, member: 4808"] I'm sorry. I don't have a formerly easy child but my "bright spot" child is totally falling apart too (12 yrs. old) so I totally know what you're going through. All I can say is that you're not alone. She is in the best middle school in the city and we've been told her transfer will probably not be renewed (she's failing and acting out). Good luck with the high school thng. You might not want to go down that road. In hind sight, I might not have. I feel like I should have jsut put her at her zoned school and avoided all of the stress to begin with. It's not too bad of a school anyway (it's not the worst by any means) and we could avoided switching her around. That's my advice. (I'm a teacher.) Some teachers will be very understanding and be willing to help her but many administrators willonly care about the bottom line (test scores, etc.) and will send a student packing back to their home school if they are going to affect their school's "bottom line" (accountability ratings). Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
