Whatever happened to online education?!?!?! FFS.

I mean, yeah, I get the weird spending (having taught in the public schools, you suddenly realize there's plenty of money for everything except actually teaching). FFS. Give her a computer. Give her an online camera, and get that camera pointed at a classroom in a continuation school.

The state has a responsibility to teach her, not coddle her.

We need low pay workers to support our economy. She will be one of them just like all the other kids who take education as a joke.

School phobia my ass. Psychiatrists will make up anything to get noticed or get the case off their hands. Studying psychology in school, you start to realize there's a lot of pussies out there who just try to use any sort of medical excuse to relieve their responsibilities.

Well that's a sweeping generalization, isn't it?

I believe there is more research being done on this, and admittedly I don't know much about it, but I believe it can basically take two forms (actually being afraid of the school or being anxious about being separated from a caregiver). If you've never experienced a phobia or clinical anxiety, chances are you think this girl's situation is a joke.

Could the money be spent better? Ahhhh obviously...

Finally...I knew it was a problem.

There are so many phobias out there...why not this one? Sad and unfortunate.
