What if #schoolrefusal isn’t the kids but the parents? #covid has still got people scared.
I just wanted to say school refusal is not a new phenomenon!
It's great that there is a name for it now. But please don't pretend it is a new thing.
In my parents' day, they could leave school at a very early age, so refusal was disguised by just leaving school early.
In my time we could leave at 14 and a half.
The kids.. had to be in work or study until 18.
I was a school refuser & I missed a lot of school (starting from year one).
One of the kids ditto!
Being smart helped us to keep up with the normals. We both now have tertiary qualifications.
School was not a pleasant experience. Being flexible on attendance allowed both of us to survive.
School refusal is not new.

“The findings of this study suggest that youth suicides are closely tied with in-person school attendance.”

This aligns with experiences in our communities of neurodivergent and disabled people, where we reframe “school refusal” as “school-induced anxiety”. Bullying is only a part of the problem.

#Autism #SchoolRefusal my son has been off school for nearly 6 weeks now. He’s started antidepressants but the main trigger is definitely the idea of 6 years more school. Had anyone had experience of long time off and success getting back in ?
I've got a lot of friends and colleagues who are struggling with their children 'school refusing'.
I say, I don't call it 'refusing' and when they look puzzled I say, 'I call it voting with their feet'
