[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was like that for my oldest and honestly never got better. I think 8th grade was a pretty low point and HS, until he was eligible for vo tech, was also tough because at that point, he couldn't even join clubs or activities because he couldn't meet the academic requirements. I wish I had some ideas of how to help, but I don't. We were just lucky to get a spot in vo tech because that made him want to go to school. [/quote] +1 to vo-tech. It was the difference maker.[/quote] Op—thank you—what field ?[/quote] Mine did automotive tech and then got a full scholarship to Montgomery College even with his bad grades. My friend’s kid did HVAC and got an apprenticeship right out of HS. I also know some kids who did the hospitality program but I don’t know what they did after HS. A bonus was that mine made long term friendships at vo tech. [/quote]
