Tymber has not done well with high school at all. Since beginning the school year she has had some pretty good panic attacks and I have had to get her on some anti depressants to control her anxiety. Her grades are horrible in most classes and it is just such a struggle for her. I am tired of the bullying she gets, tired of a school with over 1100 kids, tired of the shuffle, tired of the teachers not understanding her anxiety, tired of her being sick all the time, and frankly just tired of her being unhappy. We have had to put her in counselling and some other things are going on I will not share here. There is no way she or I can do this for almost another four years.
Next trimester starts in about 3 weeks and I have made the decision to online school her. She is going to have to repeat science and math and may not get credit for her other classes because of her absences, I have to go to the principal and appeal them. I have told her she can continue to take 2 classes at the school daily. She will go after lunch and take Seminary and Aquatics. This will allow her to see her friends and get the social interaction she needs. Hopefully this will work better for her and lessen her anxiety.
One thing that is clear to me is that I am pretty sure she cannot do the traditional high school. There is a new charter high school opening in the fall that we toured and she really wants to go there. There are some other things to consider though and I am not sure it will work out. we may just home school the rest of high school for her. We will see I guess. I am blessed to work from home so it is an option for us.
