[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th grade. Mostly all A's.  Lots of friends, not being bullied or bullying anyone. Gets along with all teachers though dislikes misogynistic gym teacher.  Has to be at school by 8:10.  Today would not leave the house until 8:56 when I finally took her backpack and threw it into the hallway outside our apartment, with her keys. Then the second she stepped outside I slammed the door shut. I had woken her at 7:20.  [/quote]

Waking at 7:20 doesn't seem like it could possibly be enough time to BE at school at 8:10, especially not if she needs to walk to a bust stop and wait for the city bus?

Does she take 30 minutes to wake, groom, get dressed and eat?  And then can commute to school in 20 minutes total?

I think you need to wake her (or she needs to wake herself) at least at 7:00 am.

My 6th grade wakes to 7:30 but doesn't need to be at school until 9:10.

I agree with others -- get her a flip phone for the bus ride if that is a concern, and take away the phone entirely until she proves she can get herself to school with no hassle.   She can read at night but no screens.[/quote]
