DD is 16. Her school had winter conferences to discuss how she’s been doing this semester. They strongly recommend having the student attend as well. From the start, at home, she was reluctant to go but eventually agreed to come with me.

When we arrived at school, she refused to get out of the car and said she didn’t want to speak to her teachers, or go to the conference, said that was her plan all along. She climbed into the back seat, tried locking doors, and would not go inside. I told her I wasn’t leaving until she got out. She refused for the next twenty minutes. She finally got out of the car [b]but then went and sat down on a bench  nearby[/b], still refusing to go into the school.

I then stayed in the car, called her father (we’ve been divorced for years; he lives near the school) and asked him to come. He drove to the school and saw her near the building. He parked, she saw him, and tried to run, but he threatened to call the teacher to come outside and speak with her there. That quickly changed her behavior, and her dad grabbed her and took her into the school.

The conference itself went fine. The teachers all said she’s very capable and is a sweet kid but her only issue is procrastinating and turning assignments in late.

Her behavior here was very odd though, and I’m not sure what to do next or how to handle this.
