Should I withdraw my child from public school?
-
My daughter is 17 and a junior and she absolutely despises the school she goes too. She comes home to me everyday in tears saying how the kids torture her and bully her all the time. Going to this school has really caused her physical and mental harm; in January, I put her into therapy when I found out that she was self harming and having mental breakdowns everyday. Her therapist advised me to pull her out of the school and put her in online classes for the remaining half of the year. When I called the counselor at her school today, she said if I pull my daughter out of school, she loses ALL her classes and would have to make up the entire last quarter in online classes, which would probably be difficult. When I told my daughter this, she broke down, ran up to her room, and hasn't spoken to me since. Should I just pull her out? I'm afraid if I do, she won't keep up with her online classes but I'm afraid if I don't then she'll do something worse to herself :(

Answer:
Look at the various online schools, because some offer credit recovery and others allow students to start their school year early. Charity Christian Academy does year-round enrollment, but offers a summer term for students who wish to graduate early.

YES! YES! Pull her out of school. Trust me online courses are much easier i started doing them last week. Try flvs because it doesnt have a time limit for assigments and stuff. If you keep her in school it may cause her grades to drop. So i suggest you pull her out of school as soon as possible (asap). Trust me she wont fail its much easier. But make sure she gets the high school courses and doesnt cheat because at the of the school year she has to go somewhere to take her test similar to the SATS. FCATS ect. Wish you and her luck

I do online classes because I also hated my school and other reasons. If there is another school nearby switch her to that school and all her classes can be transferred. The problem I have is I was switched out of my school in November and I am struggling to catch up because I had to re-start all of my classes. For your daughter if she has trouble teaching herself information and studying by herself you are either going to need to help her or online classes are gonna be tough. Ask her before you pull her out if she would be willing to work with you on some of the assignments or if you don't have time or she wont hire a tutor if needed. DON'T KEEP HER IN THAT SCHOOL. Make sure she knows everyday that you love her and are there for her. If you do switch her to online and she does not get better from the self harming and stuff, or if she isn't getting better in general, get her help. Hope this helps.

Yes pull her out ASAP! That will traumatize her! Prima Vera online school is a GREAT choice. AZVA (Arizona virtual academy) Dont u dare place her there..teachers are useless. XD But prima vera is awesome and they help u and want u to succeed. Or, an alternative is charter school. I go to a charter school..and im exceeding in all classes with nothing but 95's-100;s. the teachers are also very kind. students dont mess with each other either.

In this kind of situation, it seems you cannot trust her to make her own decision. It's not that she's not smart enough, it's just that she's emotionally unstable, and might make a bad choice. It's up to you right now to decide what is best for her; but that's probably stuff you already know. You've been extremely responsible by talking with the counselor and putting her through therapy. The important thing is to make things positive. Making up the last quarter isn't as bad as it seems. It's not that hard since she'll be able to focus more without those people from school distracting her. Not only that, but online classes might be more flexible. The important thing in the end is to learn something. But then there's a tricky part to this decision. She's a teen; and might seem confusing to you because of the way she acts. Instead of getting better, if you take her out, she might get lonely. So you'll also have to ask her decision gently. If she doesn't give you a response within a few days, then it's your choice. In the end, I think as long as she still keeps friends while out of school, it'll be better for her to take online courses. In the end, remember to stay positive, and help her see the light of things in hard times like this. Take care of yourself too; don't wear yourself out trying to help her. Life is a process of learning. We all go through tough times, but when we emerge from those times, we become stronger and have a better understanding of the world around us. Both of you, keep your heads up! :)
