[quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler is obsessed with aviation and wants to be a pilot. To the point where he's reading a ground school book at home for fun. DC does well in honors math and science on medication and gets by in other courses. DC is also a good athlete, but whether DC will be good enough to be a recruited athlete is unclear. Is there any chance we can get him off medication later in high school and still have a shot at the Air Force Academy? Other schools with aviation programs would also be fine, but I understand that we have to get off stimulants regardless if the goal is to become a commercial pilot. I am looking for a sliver of hope, and if there is none, we need to gently nudge him away from the goal of being a commercial pilot as a career path. Maybe a hobby pilot with an aeronautical engineering undergrad is more realistic. [/quote]
