[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again.  My youngest dd has been impacted by her poor judgment.  The way certain situations have been handled are inappropriate and have been contradictory to what the school stands for.

An example not related to me, is a 4th grader with severe anxiety was having school phobia issues.  The head if lower school said to just keep him out since he has such anxiety.  Anyone who knows anything about school phobia knows that keeping them out is the worst thing to do.  He was out for 8 weeks. The poor family.  Just poor judgment. [/quote]

Anxiety is a tough call.  I do know about school avoidance and its not as obvious as you make it seem.  Sometimes you need to push the child as hard as you can to go to school anyway.  Sometimes that will make the situation much, much worse.  Its a very individual thing. In our case, we were able to switch schools which helped a lot (in addition to medication and therapy).

Its very important not to judge how another family deals with a child with mental illness.  Its always complicated and even though you may think you are being supportive, if I were the parents I would feel judged.  [/quote]
