[quote=Anonymous]We have an 8th grader with ADD, and anxiety.  Next year he is slated for BCC. He is excited to go since he has a lot of friends, but his executive function is virtually nonexistent. He is also easily swayed by friends into taking risks, and has impulsivity issues. He also has sensory sensitivity.

BCC will be a lot. Our older son goes there and is thriving but he is very well organized and self motivated.

I am worried my youngest will get swept up easily with a “bad” crowd, skip classes, and basically be a C student and learn nothing. BCC does not seem to care about the kids who are not either super achievers or totally failing. My kid is in the donut hole.

OTOH he wants to be like his big brother and go to BCC.

He is open to private school, which met be a better fit for his anxiety and ADD but the rub is we really can’t afford it. I would be raiding my retirement. If I thought it would make the difference we would do it.

I do t know what to do, let him try BCC knowing he might crash and burn big time, or make him go to private.

And yes, he has a 504 and the accommodations do help some.[/quote]
