Daughter might be expelled......

PRSOM. The OP doesn’t want to take any advice being offered unfortunately

I’m a bit late, what does PRSOM mean?

Hi!

I was in a very similar situation to your daughter. I got good GCSE grades (almost all A’s), but when I started alevels I chose the wrong subjects and got in with a bad group of people. They school wouldn’t let me change alevels, so I got worse grades, which made me act up, which made my grades worse and so on in a cycle.

I got permenantly expelled from that school in my Lower sixth.

My parents gave a me a choice: start somewhere strait away and try and do 3 alevels in my U6, or drop a year and start again, doing things I liked with a chance to make myself new again at a new school.

The problem at my old school was I was so used to acting up that I felt I was expected to be that way by my friends and teachers, and they treated me as such so I never had a chance to change.

I chose to start again and drop a year. I started a new school far away, with alevels I liked and a fresh start: I just received A*AB in 3 hard subjects (English lit etc), was in honour roll by the time I left and will be attending a prestigious Russel group university in a few weeks to do a 4 year masters in psychology.

Basically, being expelled was the best thing that ever happened because it gave me a chance to start again, and I went from expelled to honour roll.

I think it would be a good idea to discuss starting new with your daughter somewhere else; sounds like she needs a fresh start

Hi, I'm so pleased everything worked out for you and congratulations on your success!

In hindsight, my daughter does whatever she can to annoy the school. Their attire should be smart. She goes in with short denim skirts or jeans which are certainly not allowed. She liked to provoke a reaction. She will eat during class and be on her phone and chat during mass.

I did ask her whether she'd like to leave but surprisingly, said no.

I will ask her again about leaving and starting afresh. I'm hopeful that our chat last night may start her thinking about how she can move forward.

well said this is exactly the problem but the mother prefers to support the school and blame the daughter rather than facing the fact that her daughter is playing up because she is extremely unhappy. The behaviour of the school is totally bizarre. They could have helped the situation by letting the daughter drop biology but they put the schools interest above the student. The vast majority of schools would have acted differently as Muttley a vastly experienced teacher has commented.. The head of sixth year has commented how supportive the parent has been and knows that many parents would have been backing their child against a school which clearly doesnt have the students best interest at heart.

Hi

My daughter is in her last year of her A levels.

She is disruptive, rude and not working hard. I've been into the school many times and now she is on her last warning before being excluded.

I had an email today saying they want to talk to me about putting her on "enforced study leave".

Does anyone know what that means?

Thank you
