Article: Schedule a meeting with teachers and school administrators. Determine if any accommodations need to be made to foster your child’s learning experience. While problems at home can be a part of the choice to drop out, more times than not there is a problem at school that is the driving cause of this choice. Getting the school involved can get you help. This membership puts you at the school often and the staff will start to recognize you.  In the case of a problem at school, you being there on a regular basis puts you closer to solving the problem. If your student needs your support you are readily available. Take special care to communicate with school staff in the most efficient way, but also respect your student’s privacy. Including them in the conversation will help. Other parents may help you spot any problems behaviors that require intervention. Also, staying in the loop keeps you informed on what your teen’s friends are involved in, such as drugs, sex, or other risky activities. Some students may try to hide problems by lying about where they are or who they are with. Being involved with the other parents can make this nearly impossible. A psychiatrist can offer therapy and prescribe medications for conditions like ADHD or bipolar disorder which may interfere with school functioning. A mental health counselor can help your child sort out issues such as social anxiety or depression. Having your child evaluated for any psychological conditions could problem-solve their desire to drop out and offer needed intervention.

Problem: Article: Owls are most comfortable hunting in the dark and will try to stay away from well-lit areas. They especially dislike strobe lights; there are owl-specific night lights on the market that emit a red strobe that can be particularly effective.  Find bird-deterrent lights online or at a home-improvement store in your area. Install the light near the area you want the owl to avoid, such as a chicken coop or backyard, according to the product instructions. Keep chickens enclosed at night so they cannot see the light; having lights on at night can disrupt their sleep cycles. Sometimes referred to as a “hawk globe,” there is a round, globe-like mirror available on the market used to deter predatory birds. Place the mirror in the owl’s flight path in the areas you want the owl kept away from.  Once the owl has seen its reflection in the mirror, it may not return to the area because it thinks it has predatory competition there. You can find globe shaped mirrors online or at home improvement stores in the garden and patio section. Similar to the idea of the mirror, using a predatory bird decoy may effectively keep owls away. Owls are lone hunters, so they tend to avoid areas that another bird has made into its territory. With this option, you will need to move the decoy around once or twice a week to prevent the owl from figuring out it’s not a real bird. Another option is to set up a scarecrow in your yard or livestock area. You will need to move the scarecrow’s location and position 2-3 times a week to prevent the owl from realizing it’s not a real person. If you don’t want to put in the effort of moving a scarecrow around, consider an “electric scarecrow.” This is actually just a high-powered water hose with a movement sensor that blasts water toward an animal. Check to be sure that the water pressure is not lethal to an owl if it gets hit before using this option.
Summary: Install night lights with strobes near your home or livestock area. Use a round mirror to trick the owl into thinking it has competition. Try an owl or hawk decoy. Rotate a scarecrow around your yard.

The shirt may have long or short sleeves, but it should be a button-down shirt either way. Checkered is the most traditional, but white is also popular. Lederhosen are a type of traditional leather or suede breeches with suspenders attached. They usually extend to or just past the knees. Authentic lederhosen can be quite expensive, so check out costume shops or go online for cheaper options. You can also mimic the look by selecting a pair of brown, black, or dark green knee-length pants. The pants should be fairly plain and not have many pockets. Authentic lederhosen may come with suspenders, but if you buy them separately, try to find some that match the color of your lederhosen or pants. Going without suspenders is also acceptable. Slouch socks are knee-length cotton or wool socks. Off-white is traditional, but gray, light brown, and hunter green will also work. Often, they have a tassel. Many men wear the socks pulled up to the knee, but slouching them down a few inches above the ankle is more traditional. Typically, men whose lederhosen stop just above their knee wear their socks pulled up, while men whose lederhosen extend just below their knee wear their socks pushed down. If you cannot find authentic "Haferl" footwear, pick out a pair of black or dark brown leather loafers. The look is very similar, and will cost far less! Anything that looks similar to a rugged dress shoe will work. The Alpine hat is the traditional look for guys. It has a peaked top and wide brim. A band is usually wrapped around the base of the hat, and a feather is attached to it with thread.
