[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 657295, member: 14557"] I'm sorry to be a spoilsport but if I remember correctly, academics are not easy to her, nor is independent study. And getting GED could really be a struggle for her. If you take her out from school, would she lose all the support and accommodations? If she now has difficult time to get her work done with one-on-one aide, who would aide her at home? Would she accept your help and do you have time and energy to help her? How do you see her future and ability to make a living? Do you think she can make it at open work markets or will she need services or is she disabled enough to collect disability? How about her ability to live independently? If she will need help as an adult, will taking her off school discontinue any paper trails that could be important in the future? Do not take her out of school just to ease an anxiety over her school troubles without double checking how that choice may influence your future choices. If she is going to need assistance as an adult, taking her off from the system now may make things more difficult for you, when you will face that issue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have an understanding she is not doing grade level work at least in all of her classes. If that is an ability issue, that ability issue is something she will face also in real world after school. Often special education is the easiest route to adult services special needs kids may need also as adults. [/QUOTE]
