I applied for my daughter to attend an Online Public School this week. I haven't heard back from the admissions office yet, but hopefully we will hear something very soon. I decided to enroll her in this type of school setting, rather than continue to homeschool her, but I was told, rather explosively, that I am not pushing her hard enough to work through her fears and her OCD and anxiety. She is terrified of being in front of people, or in large groups, and I decided that with her medical issues, both physical and mental, that this would be better for her. She has an advanced intellect as well, which makes it difficult for her to perform at the same level as other children her age and I don't want to watch her suffer because she is not being challenged. I am a single parent and I want to do what is right for my child, but I worry that I am coddling her; and I also worry, maybe even more so, that I am pushing her too hard, too fast, and that it will push her to breaking. I don't want to force a "group" setting on her before she is ready, and I don't want her to have difficulty because of her Oxygen Tank (which she has to take everywhere with her, along with two different inhalers because of her lung function-or lack of I should say).

Does anyone have any advice, or an opinion? I will always do what I think is best regardless, but I am also open minded and I want to hear what others think. Sometimes there is a better way to see/do something and I don't want to close myself off from that.....
