A Tarnished Southern Belle

After a stressful week with travel and work, I came home to deal with the stress of taking the oldest to the psychiatrist.  His recommendation is to pull her out of school, but not do a GED.

In research, I have found alternative ways for her to get her high school diploma.  There are two or three well known universities that have programs for distance learning for high school kids that are not being served by their schools.  Basically, home schooling with all the course work available from the university via the internet.

I’ve already discussed the issue with the Ex and based on the conversation with the Vice Principal, he is all aboard, although he wants to fight the school a tad longer to make a point of how the needs of highly gifted and emotionally stressed kids is not being met.

I now have a deadline.  I need to get a program picked, official transcripts picked up, kid withdrawn from current school and enrolled in new high school with at least two weeks of attendance by December 12th.
