My 9th grade son has 33 absences this year. He has morning anxiety attacks and can't bring himself to get out of bed and go to school in the morning. He can't even speak when he has one. We've been dealing with this for 2 years now. The school gives him additional time to complete missed work, equal to the number of days he was gone, but lectures and any in-class material (like a physics lab) are completely forfeit. There are no additional accommodations available. They discontinued virtual classes in 2022, and recording lectures is against teacher contracts. Of course, he's failing his core classes. The further behind he gets, the worse his anxiety gets.
I started looking into virtual in December, but he wanted to keep trying. Now it is April, and I can't find anywhere he can finish out the school year. I feel like my only option is to call him off again and again until the clock runs out (mid-June) and start 9th grade over next year.
We're in Michigan. I've reached out to at least 3 or 4 different online/virtual schools, and they can only enroll him for next year. Is there *anywhere* that can help him so he can get high school credit?
