[quote=Anonymous]We have just moved here.  One of our children has a chronic illness (an autoimmune disease) and misses school due to hospitalizations, etc.  I am wondering if anyone has experience with having a student (High School age) who has a similar situation.

More specifically: What supports did the high school provide to your child to help catch up with missed instruction?

Mostly interested in high school age, because managing this was quite easy when our child was younger.  Not so much homework, and classes not so challenging.

Now, as a junior in high school, if she misses chemistry or algebra 2--I am pretty much useless in providing the "re-teaching" at home that I could do when she was younger.

Online classes are an option I know, but pulling her out of school is so incredibly isolating.  We did it last year, and it was great academically as she could get ahead when she was well or catch up when she is well, etc.  However, emotionally, its a terrible thing to do to a teenager.

Anyone have any experience?? Thank you![/quote]
