[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 42837, member: 1991"] Crikey, we'd have been in trouble! In Year 5, difficult child 3 missed a total of six months of school, spread over the whole year. He had been missing big chunks of school in previous years, generally in the second half. In our case, the truant office people were told by the school to back off. But it did get to the stage where we had to get medical certificates for every absence. Vomiting was enough of a reason for a medical certificate. Plus, he looked really ill (as you would with severe anxiety). Surely you can fight this? It seems crazy, especially since you weren't able to push her to go to school while she was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). And now she's home, under your care, and clearly attending better (you've given us some really sensible explanations for the day or so here and there that you've let her stay home) Surely they have better things to do with the court's time? Hang in there, Linda. Have a good Mothers Day anyway, just knowing you are making a huge difference in this girl's life. Marg [/QUOTE]
