[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in your shoes with my middle child, who has since graduated from HS thanks to Covid and forced alternative forms of education, especially for kids with IEPs.

I think if you are hoping for an alternative placement you should look around and figure out what that might be because your child is likely going to have a tough time getting accepted into one and you will likely have to be very Instrumental in finding one if you are given an alternative placement. Home schooling or unschooling might be good alternatives to consider. I’m less familiar with unschooling but one of my friends whose child was similar to yours and mine had great success and their child is now in college.

Also I’d be looking into the mental health treatment he’s getting because it might not be optimal given what you’re describing.

I’d be asking how my kid intends to adult if they are not going to accept education and see if you can get some direction from the answers you get.

Finally, just a warning. Kids like mine (and while I think yours and mine have significant similarities I won’t lump your kid into this) are at real risk for drugs, overdosing and suicide attempts. I’ve been through all of this repeatedly though we have reached the other side.

kids like ours are a lot more work for parents than others will ever understand. Don’t let yourself believe for a second that the school alone can help your child be successful and be careful about how much you are relying on them and not yourself for the end result. [/quote]
