The community college idea is sounding better all the time. He’s 17, so would need a letter from the Superintendent to take the GED. Or he might be able to wait until he’s 18 (December) when the letter’s not needed. We’re not too worried about him passing it today, even without Senior year. We’d have to start talking to some community colleges now and see what they advise, also.
The wildcard option here is that we could send him to live with my dad in MO. He lives next door to a good H.S. in a good district, but I no longer know what that really means today. Oh and we’d have to kick out my nephew, who decided to leave home in a rift with his dad.
My 9th grader has fewer choices. Still not understanding why there’s the hard line drawn for extra-curricular activities. I suspect that by handing the kids over to what’s probably a charter (which our County has never been authorized for previously) they’ll literally be “out” of the school district, which again is retarded but whatever. It breaks my heart that she has to choose between two impossible choices, or that we have to choose for her.
