SIGN OUT

Dear Teachers,

1. She has been screwing up a lot lately with grades and stuff. Today her parents just found out she has been cutting herself.

- "She has been cutting herself" means "she has been using a knife to torture herself", right?

2. His mother signed him out because he was always in troubles and only got F's.

- "sign him out" means "ignore him", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.
