[quote=Anonymous]My kid is going into the trades and looked into several fields. He is also a terrible speller but not dyslexic. What we found, when he’s very into something he can focus very well and will do much better with the program he’s about to enter. 15 is still young but over the next 2-3 years go to some of the open houses and have your son see what he may be interested in doing. That’s going to be better than reading about it. The PP also gives really good advice about other areas besides trades and college. I’d encourage him to get a PT job anywhere, to see how he likes working. He might have to wait until he’s 16. My son had a terrible time memorizing things for school but no problem for his job. There was motivation there. My kid looked into becoming an electrician, hvac, auto mechanic, airline mechanic and many different tech programs in the area of computers before deciding on a program.
