[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he want to go to college? [b]Those grades are pretty bad and maybe he is not academically inclined. [/b] Perhaps working part-time and going to CC part-time is a good balance. Lots of marginal students get a self-esteem boost out of the friendships and extracurriculars of high school. For those kids, those positives balance the negative academic experience. Plus, they don't really have a choice. Sounds like this kid needs a positive in his life and going to a school with lots of strangers and school may not be a good fit. [/quote] I know a lot of academically inclined kids who went off the rails following a difficult personal situation. I think a small, nurturing college would be a great way of helping him get back on track. [/quote]
