[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 508617, member: 6546"] Stressed-- SHE wants to be home. YOU want her to be home. You CAN school from home. She CAN take advanced classes from home. What, exactly, is your goal here? Is your goal "public school no matter what" or "academic success" ? At the moment - these two seem like mutually exclusive ideals. Just to give you an idea of where I am coming from: difficult child - our goal was "public school no matter what". We needed difficult child to interact with other people, other authority figures, learn to navigate relational situations, follow rules, etc - plus we needed a break from her. It was important to get her to school every day...and she was getting there even if I had to drag her by the hair! DS - our goal was "academic success". He has ADHD...he needed a certain type of learning environment. When we moved and toured the new school and spoke to the teachers? I knew there was no way he was going to do well academically in that environment - PLUS it would probably start a whole host of other issues. So we have homeschooled him for the last two years...with the intent to send him back to public school eventually. Susie is right...you need to do what you feel is best for your daughter. She CAN she home now and go back to public school later, if that's what your instincts are telling you....but you have to be "official" about it or she'll be truant. [/QUOTE]
