Would it be wise to let my developmentally disabled daughter quit school?
My 15 year old daughter has an autism spectrum disorder. She has problems socializing and nobody likes her at school. I was thinking about not sending her to school next year. She will be 16 in June. She has been failing everything so far this year and has never got a grade any higher than a C. She mostly gets D’s and F’s, mostly F’s lately. She is even in special ed for math and english and she fails those classes. How can a person fail special ed? I know a boy with Down Syndrome who can get on the honor roll. Something is wrong in our case. She has a big problem with being distracted by "kids who never shut up" and she says the teachers go too fast for her. She is only in 9th grade but you would think that the kids that age would be more mature, as in gym class they won’t include her in their teams or games because they say they might get germs from her. She does not understand game rules and is not athletic. She is taunted and ostrasized and has been beaten with a book but of course the principal didn’t believe her on that one. School is just a horrendous experience for her. She has to take medicine for anxiety. She won’t ever be able to support herself or have any kind of meaningful life so what is the point in making her suffer for 3 more years? I am willing to homeschool her and teach her what she needs to know to survive. It would be more important for her to learn how to write a check, for example, than to know algeba, which I also could not comprehend even as an average learner. What the heck does anybody ever need it for? When I talk to the school they don’t care that she has the autism (She has pddnos). They say it would be too constrictive for her to be in an AI classroom. They don’t even have anybody else in the school with Autism. It’s that small. There is a neighboring district that she went to in K-2 that is better but you have to apply and be accepted, etc. because of being outside of the district. Knowing her need for not being around people, she would rather stay home I’m sure.
you would be wise to find an APPROPRIATE eductaion for her..and resolve the problems

plz don’t take any of this offensive, I suggest that you don’t take her out of school.. why ? simple.. you daughter like every person is human.. what do I mean by that ?.. "normal" people as they say (rolling eyes).. get depressed if they are put in a room by them self and only come out some times when they are hungry.. the only people they talk to is the people in there house.. those conversations can be VERY monotonous and stressful for us… Now. put her in those shoes.. if a normal person will get cave in and get depressed by keeping away from people/friends for a year I don’t even want to think what she will feel after some time goes by.. point is. when I was in 9nth grade I was depressed and u know lost contact with every and any body who I knew besides my family. I decided to STOP and start specializing again. school, was and is like heaven for me.. if I don’t have school I have nothing. she might not understand that but a human is a human and she will suffer.. change schools put her with other kids with the Autism and she will be happy as ever.. her life is already restricted enough…. I know Im just a yahoo guy, but trust me.. don’t take from her the only thing she has……

You say your daughter has autism spectrum disorder. There are five different types in this spectrum. Has your daughter been diagnosed? Where do you live? In California there are schools for autistic children that they can attend until they are age 21. Depending on their success and wanting to learn job skills they can also go to work with a job coach at Star Bucks, grocery stores, etc…
Please don’t let her drop out of school. Get her the help she needs.

I am so sorry that your daughter is going through this. There is something you may be able to do. . . have you thought of getting the district to pay for her to go to a private school that would be better for her than what they have to offer? Under the IDEA law, all students have the right to a "free and appropriate education". It sounds to me like the education she is receiving in not appropriate for her, and if the board of ed. cannot provide that for her, they may have to pay to send her somewhere else.
I would bring that up to them, and at the very least they may decide to put her in the AI class after all.

Maybe she needs to be taken out of special education, but have an aid with her in a regular classroom setting.
Sometimes having an aid can make the classroom experience go smoother.
I agree with the special education classroom thing. I was in a special needs study-hall for extra help. The kids I was with had really bad behavior. It was like a babysitting class, rather a tutoring session.
I wish I had a paraprofessional with me. They also keep an eye on the other students from gaining up on her.

you just answered your own question. Homeschool would seem to be best for her. I bet she’ll be a lot happier. I just can’t see how people think public school is BEST for kids when THIS is what they go thru?? Take her out NOW

I don’t think you should pull her out of school entirely. I think that you should find a different school (a private one for people with mental handicaps) or get her in a self-contained classroom.
