[quote=Anonymous]Parent of another school refuser here.

Maybe she just hated school.  A lot of people do.   I hated it but knew I had to go so I did.   I didn’t enjoy classes and just wanted to get it over with.

One of my kids was a lot like me and it escalated in high school to refusal.  We tried a lot of therapy and getting him involved in various things at school.  What helped was getting court involved for truancy and being mandated to go after going before a judge.  Then he took it seriously.

We have offered to let him go virtually, but only after he gets involved in something else regularly and gets a job.  He has to see other people and is a pretty social kid.  He just hates school.  We have been in contact with his school counselor at all times, every year, to keep them updated when he’s been refusing or court mandated.  The school had been very supportive.

Your daughter is nowhere near this.  I wouldn’t talk about it so much.  Be matter of fact, you need to go because it’s the law.  BUT if she’s dreading it so much she’s crying, you need to speak to her school counselor and find a therapist.  Something else is going on.  [/quote]
