[quote=Anonymous]Are you sure he is "not smart"?

Did you have him tested, get his IQ?

I have lots of learning disabilities in mine and my h's family. We have electricians, chefs, car sales men, carpenters, lawyers, engineers, computer engineers, etc. in our family.

I don't think the "smartest" go to law school and the "not so smart" become electricians... Actually it might be the other way around.

There is an organization that can help you, bass educational enterprises, olney, md. You may want to get a consult.

Does you child want to go to college? If so I would start out at community college taking 3-4 classes and transfer to UMD school, maybe UMbC since it is smaller then college park.

You should google "colleges that change lives" ... They may also be good schools.

I have many relatives that did much better in college than HS, the format is better for kids that can learn but just hate certain subjects and excel at subject that interest them.

Also I have a relative doing Heating and air condition. His course load is way harder then any general studies in college.

Also, somebody that goes into a vocation would benefit from a college degree ... Especially in business. Mostly because they end up being their own business.

Sorry for all the typos, good luck.[/quote]
