[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 573040, member: 1157"] Not sure if you're dealing with skipping or outright refusal to go since I haven't followed your story closely, but in case it's refusal I wanted to share: when Youngest refused to attend school in high school, I called the school attendance office, and her guidance counselor, each and every time she wouldn't go to school, just to cover myself. I'd just call and say, "this is Youngest's mom, and I'm calling to let you know she is refusing to attend school today." I documented each phone call, and had that list with me when she (and me) got referred to the court. They knew very well that I couldn't physically make her attend school, and it showed that I wasn't ignoring it. As I watched another parent in court get charged for ignoring her daughter's truancy, I was really glad I'd done that. It ended with Youngest in trouble, but not me. Because of her anxiety issues, this also helped document that public school was not working for her, and she eventually got an alternative placement. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
