Where the hell was this when I was in highschool?
Wow!
Maybe a new run on “fear of work for pay” disorder will get new highs in welfare payments as well........:o)
Stay safe !
look how enlightened we've become.
They can’t just cuff her to the desk?
Just don’t try to pull your kids out of public school because they have homophobia. That’s child abuse.
Poster child for being screwed up the rest of your life. Nanny state to the rescue.
But much lower cost voucher for home schooling or private schools are, of course, unthinkable.
So the district is paying the parents to HOME SCHOOL their daughter.
I home-schooled three kids. The school district owes me BIG TIME!
This is just wrong. It’s no wonder that schools are in trouble.
Talk about appeasement!!! What does this mom have on this school district that they are mollycoddling her child with so much money?!?
Sounds like she’s getting paid to be homeschooled. One of my kids had a fear of going outside, wish I had figured this out. I spent thousands and I could have been paid thosands instead.
If one can attend summer camp, one can go to school. No one requires a teen magazine subscription for educational purposes.
Only stating the obvious, of course.
And I can’t even get the money I pay into the school system out to pay for homeschooling. What nonsense!!
So...she's afraid of regular school, but not modeling school? Yeah that makes sense. She'll probably win America's Next Top Model next season. She sounds like Tyra's kind of crazy.
Do you all notice that she doesn’t have a fear of education or learning or reading or doing schoolwork, but of the social aspects of school? I have a fear of our public schools too - gang fights, etc.
I homeschool my kids and don’t get squat from the government, but I do pay taxes for the $11K+ it costs per annum to support the holding pen public schools where gangbangers can hang out during the day and harrass the teachers.
Who EVER thought that “learning” must take place in large groups of people uninterested in learning?
When Rebecca came home, she and her mother had no plan for her education. Palmerton school officials tried to work out a new individualized education plan for her, but Barbara Maykish and school officials could not reach an agreement.

Because her daughter has gone the past year without any formal education, Barbara Maykish said she thinks she might need another compensatory education fund.
On TOP of the $46,000 they already received? As well as after the school district tried to work out a plan with her? Wow, I don't even know what to say to this...

How Special.
