[quote=Anonymous]Around this area, it seems like there is so much pressure for kids to perform academically and that college isn't optional. So, it's hard to let go. My oldest is like your's OP. When I finally listened to him and helped him figure out what he wanted, it was clear that he didn't want to be pushed toward college. So, I talked to him about other options, including vo tech. He found a program that interested him. And, when he found out that admission wasn't guaranteed, he started working hard in school so that he would be a viable candidate. My C student is now an A student and headed to vo tech. And, we're all happy.[/quote]
