Hey Bugsy. That's not going well. My D is repeating the 9th grade again, 3rd time. She missed 90 days of school and failed 100% of her classes. The school felt that she is capable of the work so they won't classify her. She was given the option of an alternative school with shorter days staring next year. We spoke and she will consider it. She is at an age where she can drop out of school without parental consent. My biggest concern is that she does not suffer from a mental illness. It runs in both our families. She is isolating more, gained lots of weight, and dresses in the same clothing every time I pick her up. Always in black. Last weekend she was wearing a sweater and wool hat even tho is was in the 90s. I would like for her to see someone but the psychiatrist who saw her in May said she was fine. So she does not see a need for another evaluation. So that's the update.
