[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he going to graduate with a HS diploma? I have a son with a slightly higher IQ, but only by a few points. The HS diploma is key to his success. [/quote] What was the path for your son? What did he end up doing?[/quote] Went into a trade and has a good job with the county. We apparently knew before OP - by the end of ES, we knew college was not in the future. Before that we were pretty oblivious and had a substantial college fund. By HS, there was a lot more f pressure to move him to the certificate program, which I opposed because it’s not a pathway to I dependence and gainful employment. He was able to qualify for vo-tech in HS and did two more years of training after that. [/quote] New poster here. I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question; we are just learning about this. Is vo-tech + training a diploma track or certificate track? If you are in the DC area, where did you do it? [/quote] MCPS. At least when my son was in school, certificate track disqualified a kid from vo-tech. Also post HS training required a diploma. We set a goal of D-ing out of HS. Getting that diploma was all that mattered and every day I can see how worth it it was to put in all of the effort. [/quote]
