[quote=Anonymous]Quit trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Find out what he'd rather be doing instead of reading Shakespeare, doing trigonometry, etc. Prepare him to pursue that path. Find vocational classes in an area that interests him if he likes working with his hands. Encourage him to take classes that help teach entrepeneurship. He's not doomed for failure. He can have a very rewarding career, perhaps as a plumber, chef, electrician, builder, police officer, personal trainer, fire fighter, lumberjack, soldier, salesman, etc. If you keep stressing over academics (which just aren't his thing), he might not have the self-confidence to be really successful in these non-academic areas. He'll likely be more financially successful than all the "bright" students who major in liberal arts, go to law school because they can't think of anything useful to do, and start life $200,000 in debt with no useful skills.
