[quote=Anonymous]It’s a tricky one. What public HS are you zoned? My kid was similar, although my kid had no problem doing the minimum work to get As in classes that didn’t interest (humanities and languages…though even my kid admitted certain economic and STEM/Industrial Revolution topics were interesting in history). My kid found heaven on the robotics team where you are playing with CnC routers, laser printers, etc. great combination of coding and hands-on building. There were a number of kids on the team that were getting Cs and below in traditional classes…really they wanted a 21st century votech school. Not learning to be a car mechanic but learning to build and repair robots. These kids all managed to get to college somewhere, and some dropped out. Of the ones that dropped out, one is now a head technician at a DMV hospital and the other moved to SC to get an apprenticeship for I want to say Boeing. So non-traditional, but they do have some marketable skills. [/quote]
