[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, it sounds like you need to focus on the mental health issues. Is she in therapy? Does she have an IOP?[/quote]

OP again. Thanks again everyone. Yes, we are seeking mental health support. She went to therapy for a while, then stopped and now is starting again. We think the current plan of action will be to let her settle back into therapy (with a new therapist) and see how things progress - she may also potentially change medication. Hopefully when she feels better, she'll do better and perhaps the environment will change in that she'll perceive it differently. The issue is that she feels "dumb" because she's not in all honors classes. But, she's not - and we know that in reality, MCPS is required by law to support her in ways other schools are not (although they may, just by default/different teaching philosophies). So switching would be a gamble too. It would also take her away from her sibling, who is only one grade apart.

It's a bit of a Catch 22 - if she's in higher classes, she does not do well and it causes tremendous stress. Now she's in lower classes and she feels demoralized as a result. I wish she understand what we do as adults - that, 10 years from now, this will all not matter.  [/quote]
