Q: How can an 18yo transfer high schools without parental consent?
A student in North Carolina has been kicked out of his house at the age of 18. If he stays he's basically homeless. However, he has the option to go down to Florida where he can find help and a place of residency. His parents will not condone this. How can he transfer from the school he is in (NC) to a Florida school without parental involvement?
I am asking this because apparently, according to numerous sources, a student cannot transfer schools without parental involvement.
A: He is 18, and an adult and has been kicked out - why would he care what his parents condone? They don't get to kick him out and then still control what he does.
