What can I do?

[warped one]

OK, so today the missus wasn't feeling to well and due to the fact she was at my house she decided to stay there instead of going ot college, so I phone up and make sure that they have made a note of it, so anyways the college go and phone up her nan (who she lives with) and her nan tells them that she was with her boyfriend (me) but i'm at work everyday, so every absence that she has they have decided to put it as she is skiving with me even though i'm at work, so...

What can I do???

I've already decided to go in on monday because the head wants to talk to her about chucking her out of college, so I want to go and talk to him about this because every absence that she has had has been accounted for, and not bunked off but the secretaries have not told anyone of this so her attendance is at 75% with the other 25% now been accounted as unaurtherised.

Please help me BCF as she already has enough problems without getting kicked out of college to deal with.

Cheers

erm excuse me but... even authorised 25 % is a heck of a lot of time to loose.

I would suggest she tries a bit harder to get motivated about college.

If anything like the college im at
there are about 3 things that qualify as a authorised absence,
Court date/police matter like a speedchoice.
Funeral.
and theres one more but you get my jist, if we just dont turn up or say we're ill, we get a absent mark.

Authorised or not, being off one in four days is taking the piss tbh. The head has every right to throw someone off a course if they show that sort of commitment.

As above...

[Phoenix]

If you phoned the college for her (why did you do this, it's her job), you presumably told them you were her boyfriend. So then if her nan confirmed she was with her boyfriend when they phoned, what's the problem, wouldn't have sounded dodgy.

If she skips college a lot when going round yours, even if she goes home before you head off to work, maybe you should stop seeing her on nights/mornings before college. Young people can be easily swayed and it's your responsibility to not encourage her to choose doing something with you over going to college.

[MattHirst]

I did block release (well 1 day a week) for the past 3 years, and in each year yuo had to get 75% attendance just to pass the course.

So yeah i agree with the above, tell her to get motivated a bit. Maybe she does have a bad cold or whatnot, but its better going in and struggling through the day than failing the course

Being Honest warped, I pop into work when I'm almost dying to at least get sent home and show my reason is valid, why can't she? Sonds like she's tossing it off. Before you get as defensive over that as I would reading it, think if she was single, would she be as willing to not attend as much?

At the local college here you're in danger of being dropped after missing 4 classes over 16 weeks, which is usually 32 classes on any particular subject before you get the bums rush..

[kitty kat]

Don't you lose your EMA as well if you miss 1 day out of the week?
You need to encourage her to attend college instead of taking so much time off sick, it is her future after all. Who is going to want to employ someone with such a poor attendance record?

1st things 1st she wasn't with me and never is during the day because I work 8am to 4.30pm every night, and she has a lot of phycological problems which i'm not going into. I try and motivate her, because she is one of these people that are genuinely intelligent, and even though she has missed days then she still excels at all her subject's it's just that they are now taking the absence's as unauthorised, even the one's with a doctors note.

If she has psychological problems then the college should make adjustments to enable her to complete the course (within reason). Get her to talk to the college about the DDA

The bottom line is that she is missing college and the head teacher has a good reason to put it down as unauthorised. 'Feeling unwell' isn't a good enough reason to miss school and definitely won't get any sympathy from the teachers - they hear that everyday and no offence to your girlfriend, but it's usually the same people that it comes from week in week out.

If she's not going to college 25% of the time, then there is definitely an attendance problem, regardless of doctors notes etc. That figure should be at least 90 - 95%.

I'd suggest to talk to her as the college are not exactly in the wrong. It's her attitude towards her education that needs to change because if she can't be bothered turning up every 1 in 4 days, then the college has every right to question whether she is actually putting her full effort into the course.

It's not what you want to hear, but it's true.

Shay believe me, last night I did have a go at her for not going as much as she should be, but in all honesty I never knew that it was this much, as I said I work everyday, and we do not live together so, I just did not realise, but I have told her that I will drop her hr off at college everyday and make sure that she is there, even though i'll be loosing out on pay and everything.

Cheers

P.s. All the comments where your saying I know you don't want to here, I've already said the exact same thing to her.

If she was in employment and had an absence rate of just 3% no matter what the reason she could be looking at the push.
Tell her to get her arse into school and stop fucking around.

If attendent in compulsary then she's got to go or get chucked out end off.

Depends what she wants to do. If she has no further education aspirations then get out, if she does then get her arse motivated and get in.
