Hi again.
My 15 y.o wants to quit school. She has been settling into a new school, which she been in for 4 weeks now. They are trying to get to know her and for her to know the staff and students. She has had a good day today so I'm really proud of her but she is losing it with the school. She doesn't feel part of it and thinks the teachers don't really care.
Basically, tomorrow they have a sports day in the afternoon but the school won't let my daughter do it because she is a risk for running off because she did last time she went offsite. School said she can go to school in the morning but she said that this will be the last day she goes in because she's fed-up. I was on the phone to the school earlier today about it to address her concerns. My daughter told the teacher on the phone that everyone has legs and can just run off whenever so why can't she go. She's annoyed because she can go to school in the morning but not the afternoon due to the risk of running. This is just messing with her brain because Thursday is a school day so she wants to do her normal day which she can't do.
The school said that it's a safety risk if she goes offsite because she locks teachers out of her room and the corridors and wanders the corridor and refuses lessons and working with staff. Today, she did really well because she didn't wander as much. Maybe for 15 minutes altogether because she was bored of having the same staff and needed a change. Her staff were different today because someone wasn't in. She had the same 2 members of staff all day which can be a bit too boring all day. She did really well but she's not happy because of tomorrow and is reluctant to go back to school Friday and want to say goodbye to the school because they are messing with her head and many schools have done this so she's getting fed-up even quicker. We've always had issues with school to the point where know she wants to give up and doesn't care because she's not fully understood. She is in a school which specializes in autism so she is not very happy because the teachers should know what to do but they are still figuring her out.
I don't know what to do anymore. I need to work to earn money and I can't keep having the school phoning me telling me to pick her up or if she can come home. Tomorrow, I have to work and I can't keep letting people down. She's not happy having the day off and staying at home or coming to work with me. School is just annoying a bit as well now. What the flip do I do?
