Q: My daughter was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy and I want to take her out of school for the rest of the year. is it legal?
My daughter has very good grades, and I know she has been working really hard, she is a junior, and I don’t want her stressing about school, she told me that she wants to drop out for the rest of this school year, and i agree with her. I just don’t want to go to court or I don’t want to be charged with anything illegal.
A:
California students may drop out legally once they turn 18. Students who are 16 or 17 may also leave school, but only if they: have their parents' permission, and. pass the California High School Proficiency Exam (which leads to a certificate that's equivalent to a diploma).
This is a really dumb idea. There is nothing about Bell's palsy that would prevent your daughter from attending high school, or at least completing high school online.
A:
HAVE YOU DISCUSSED WITH TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATION.
IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE CONSIDERING WHAT SHE IS GOING THROUGH.......HOWEVER AGE IS AN ISSUE.
IS SHE WORRIED ABOUT HOW SHE WILL BE TREATED BY FELLOW STUDENTS OR WILL STRESS MAKE IT WORSE.
I HAD IT FOR A SHORT TIME WHEN I WAS 19 AND I DO NOT RECALL STRESS BEING A FACTOR
