[quote=Anonymous]Don't redshirt. Redshirting in and of itself doesn't address the issue. If she doesn't want to go to school, why would making her do an extra year of school help? What is the specific issue with why she doesn't want to go to school -- boredom? social anxiety? problem teachers? falling behind? -- address those. If she has anxiety, she should have a 504 plan at a minimum, possibly could qualify for an IEP depending on whether she is having any trouble with the academic material. You say she is "in treatment" -- what does that mean? Is she doing therapy? For many people with anxiety and/or depression, therapy alone is not enough. Please see a psychiatrist and consider medication. Many people need medication - sometimes for a short while to get into a better place so they can use therapeutic techniques, but others need it for longer. [/quote]
