I would let her stay in the school for the school year unless I was unhappy with the curriculum or how she was being treated. Usually, by the end of the school year kids have a buddy that they will miss during the summer. 
And will want to return to be with their friend. If not, then at LEAST she tried it and gave it a real chance. |
As a hearing mom I'd say bring her home if at all possible. a year is a long time for a 6 or 7 yo. One can always try again when she is older and possibly more prepared to leave home for a week at a time. All kids are not alike. And it seems that since she had been attending as a day student it isn't the fact that she doesn't know anyone. Bring her home and work with the school district to get her decent supports. then when she is older let her try again. then it may not be quite so tramatic.
