[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646744, member: 1550"] I think it's insane. Hire a lawyer and have her go with. Your daughter is mentally ill and, yes, that CAN influence whether or not she has to go to school or whether she is put on homebound education, through the school. Did you ever try to get an advocate? I sympathize with your daughter. I had unbelievable panic disorder and phobias at her age and although I went to school, I learned nothing. I was too busy shaking and freaking out and thinking of how to go to the bathroom if I had to throw up. I'm sorry, but if your minor child has a fear of school, and you had the right supports, she would be getting help, not this. Do you really think it will help her to go to juvie? I don't. It wouldn't have helped me, that much I know.I did cut classes a lot just to get away from the incredible stress of crowded rooms, scary teachers (teachers always scared me), mean kids, and the pervasive fear I felt all day, every day, except at lunch time with my few friends. Often I took off after lunch. If a kid won't go to school because he is on drugs that is one thing. If the child is mentally ill, I put it into a whole different category. If it were me, I would find another way to get her educated. This harassment is over-the-top. I don't believe she is faking it. She has the ulcers to prove she is not. I'd be burning angry at the school and my kid would not attend it and I'd get a lawyer and fight them with all I had. in my opinion your daughter needs help and accomodations, not punishment. Gets me mad just thinking about it. If it were my kid, I'd just homeschool, but in WIsconsin once you decide to homeschool, the school district can no longer contact you, bother you, look to see your cirriculum or check up on you. I know it is way different in California, which is a pity. But if you buy a cirriculum, it is self-explanatory. You don't have to be a teacher to figure out what she needs to do and she can work at her own speed. My oldest daughter, who did drugs, was yanked out of school (by me) to get her away from her durgged friends. We got a cirriculum and she graduated early, even though she was on drugs. She even got into Cosmetology School and, later, she went to a two year college for becoming a Pastry Chef.
