quasi-10th grader
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:07 am
Hello, I'm in a sticky situation. I have a friend who has a troubled teen living in MI. She is contemplating resigning her parental rights to this 15-year-old daughter and I cannot allow this to happen as she will be "lost" in the system. I am currently living in the Dallas, TX, area and in order to establish guardianship of her, I would have to incur thousands of dollars that I don't have. She did not complete the 9th grade and would require repeating most of the curriculum. She is not enrolled in school at all at this time but if she were to come here, I would enroll her in some sort of home-schooling curriculum. I don't even know where to start here as I cannot even discern what grade level to put her in, let alone what curriculum to buy. I contacted the TX K-12 program and I can't enroll her there unless I establish guardianship. Can someone please help me and give me a clue as to how to proceed?
