@cowanddog I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Brings me back to getting the dreaded call myself- “to come pick your daughter up, now!” First of all I want to say that this is not that uncommon and the best thing you can do is to try to help your daughter grow from the experience. The first time our daughter was asked to leave, we went immediately home and enrolled her in our local public school. We had the prior school send over her records and they used the grades in her semester gpa calculation. She was s freshman- so there weren’t to many classes that didn’t transfer.
In our story, our daughter left the same BS again the following year mid February. This time, we enrolled her in accredited online classes through BYU to keep her on track for graduating.
Neither of the times she was asked to leave, showed up on her record as being kicked out, rather voluntary withdrew. She finished her high school years at a local public school. She is going great now and is a happy, mature college junior at a top college (that is a good fit).
Over the years, we have see many of our kids friends, and classmates leave BS prematurely. They have all taken different paths (new BS, local public, private day or homeschool). I would investigate all your options and make the best choice for your family. And lastly, hug your daughter and know that kids do make dumb mistakes and that they should not define them for the rest of their lives.
