Teenager - Bad Grades - Leave School Early?

[*Efjay*]

A part of the deal if she is to return to Australia is that she cuts out the drinking & smoking. Thats not on at all. You had the issue of where to put her also if she returned. She sound like alot of trouble but I can understand your DP wantin gto make sure she gets back on the right track. I would be laying down some pretty hard rules before allowing that kind of trouble into your home. Taking school out of the mix isn't a garantee she will be happier or better behaved.

Hi FJ,

The rules sound really good.

Don't know what type of school you want to send her to, but I know in Public Schools in NSW kids can look at doing VET (Vocational) or TAFE courses in year 9 and 10. If you are enrolling her this way, have a friendly chat with the careers advisor, they may be able to help you out.
