[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is she in a title 1 school or similar? I have noticed very strict punitive discipline in a lot of them (I work at a lot is school sites in my district). It’s much more understanding and relaxed at schools with more middle class families. I think it’s both accountability (parents will come fight for their kids) and overall fewer severe discipline issues. [/quote]

I work full time at a Title I school and it is not like this at ALL at my school. We have a high immigrant population and we know that a lot of our students have had traumatic experiences and that may inform their behavior. We also know that parents can’t always afford therapy like at higher income schools so while the school offers as much counseling as possible, there are many undiagnosed and unresolved issues. Very few suspensions, in or out of school.

Op, the elopement is a big issue. What kind of school is it? Can you afford to pay for 1:1 para support for your child?

I’m sure you’re stressed out. I hope you can find the right space and balance for your child so she can develop healfhy coping strategies as she gets older. GL!![/quote]
