help my daughter wants to leave 6th form

i dont know how to manage this one she is really unhappy and there is not enough structure for her

Parents
  • If her heart is not in it,, she should leave, the world will not end,, by the way she can do the re-sits in college.  But tell her the explanation of the outcome of leaving just now, she will need to refocus later.

    Is there a middle ground, she is there but not there in the heart so to say. Free periods can be hardwork to cope with and also with the lack of structural dialogue,, it becomes a no persons land, so no wonder she is down.

    She is doing well to keep going until 6th form,, I ran away from school at 15 and hid up in the woods in the summer and the attic in the winter, I left with no exam qualifications.

    However, once I left and went to college(to catch up) and then on too university(no school bully psychos there), I got an honours degree in Surveying.

    So in my mind well done daughter. Mother chill Smile

    quote"Being with a different set of peers helped, and he is now in his second year on track to finish A levels in June. His attendance is not what the college wants , but he is bright and getting away with it - he's doing education in the way that works for him."/.... good comment, the peers and the environment are more adult at college and more rational learning environment
