Hi,
My daughter started not liking her school this year .Its now 10 weeks in to her sophomore year…Her grader are taling a downward trajectory and is falling to “B”. Will changing the school help…(she wished to). If yes, how do i go about going this? Should I pull her out and wait for next year and apply for Sophomore year again in a different school?Please advice…
Before your daughter makes a change that could be expensive, recommend that she schedule an appointment at the counseling center and explore why her feelings have changed and to evaluate her for depression. Sometimes reasons for such a change in attitude can be fixed easily, such as a roommate problem that she hasn’t shared and a room change would be in order. Sometimes a more significant trauma has occurred and you and your daughter might need advice to deal with it. If she is depressed, then she will need treatment and the counselor may be able to help you and your daughter determine if a medical leave is needed. If you live close enough to your daughter’s school you could go there and with her permission help her work through these steps.
What does she say is different about this year? What has she done about the slide in grades? Has she met with her professors or academic advisor?
Research the “sophomore slump” in college students and see if it applies.
She hasn’t given any reason .Get upset on talking about the grade.She is in high school and not coleage
I would not pull her out now to repeat sophomore year next year just because she is getting a B average. What would she do at home? Some states have laws about leaving school before age 18.
She could investigate other school options and see if she could get in to other schools either during the current year or for next year. If there are other options, then perhaps she should move.
