[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- knock some sense into him - military school - take his "evil" powers of lying and focus that "creativity" into the arts - theater, writing - give him a more structured environment - boarding school - work on a trade - auto mechanic, handyman [/quote] These are good suggestions. It hard for parents in this area to remember that not all children are going to intelligent book smart achievers who are college bound. There are many other paths one can take to becoming a non-criminal productive member of society. In my own circle of family and friends, I’ve seen people who struggled academically take the following non-college routes and while they are not wealthy, do just fine: forklift operator, retail manager, nursing aid, sales, janitorial worker and automotive service. There are several issues - the lying is different from the low intelligence and can be addressed. [/quote]
