BM didn't have a plan

sadlonelyone's picture

BM called DH today, one week before SD is supposed to move back with her, and said her old school won't accept her right now. One month ago, BM and SD told DH that SD 100% wanted to go home to BM after 6 months with us. DH said this is obviously not his fault but BM was making it out like it was. Nothing ever changes.

That sounds very strange.  Was SD in a private school?  I would think a public school would be required to accept her. Compulsory free education and all that.

A charter school and she transferred in the middle of last semester so I don't see an issue unless there was a huge surge of enrollments or they're cutting class sizes..

Charter schools here often have wait lists - they probably filled her spot immediately.

That would definitely make sense. Good to know BM waited a whole month to figure that out.

I remember your blogs, you have been thru a wringer over this issue.  I feel for you!  What is BM's issue that she can't get thru straightened out? Probably stupidity.  Lol.  I'm laughing but its not funny to you, I know.  Hoping for your best outcome, Sadlonelyone.

Neither of us are shocked but still.... shocked if that makes sense? Her stupidity never ceases to amaze me but it's not really funny anymore.

She can figure it out public school can not refuse to a education to a child. I smell BS

What school is SD doing online school through at Dad's house? If it is the charter school, her seat should still be there. But, if it is another school, her seat at the charter is gone. If SD used another school for online learning, she was unenrolled from the charter and the seat filled by a new student.

Charter schools, while paid for with public money, have a limited number of seats and when they are filled, they are filled. The actual public school has to find a seat for you. A charter does not.

She is going to a charter school in our state and disenrolled in home state. She has never been to a public school before.

Is there some magic to the charter school? Why can't BM just enroll her in the local public if SD wants to go  back to BM so much? Is BM having second thoughts or is she just too dumb to handle her business?

SD has been to small private schools her entire life and I doubt BM wants her in public school now but the only options I can think of are 2 public high schools (one in GBM's district). I guess BM will have to pay for private schooling otherwise. And she is absolutely dumb lol she had a month to do this! All DH was told was she and SD decided SD is moving back home. It's not wrong to assume BM should have this lined up. 

DH said she asked him: "what are WE supposed to do?"

So what is the plan? Is SD staying with you until the end of the school year now?

What do YOU want to happen?

DH and I are meeting BM in Las Vegas next weekend to transport SD's things and enjoying our weekend without our 2 girls before driving back. This absolutely has nothing to do with us and is yet another shitty situation BM has created but tried to blame DH for.

Hopefully your SD is aware of where the issues are. If she doesn't though, just let it go. 

I hope you are also putting your foot down about her not coming back to live. Visiting for summer/exteneded holiday's of course but back and forth is no longer an option.

I will if it comes to that but DH basically called me the devil and said I wouldn't ever tell our bios they couldn't come back home.
