[quote=Anonymous]You have gotten some great advice, but one thing posters have not emphasized is just how young your son is right now. Some boys struggle academically in eighth and ninth grade, but do better in their later years of high school. One of my sons got several Cs as a high school freshman, but was a solid A- student taking multiple AP classes by his senior year. FCPS, in particular, has some good Academycourses at schools like Falls Church, Chantilly, and Marshall. Most of those courses are what typically were labeled "vocational" courses in the past, and that term has a pejorative connotation in this white-collar area, but the Academies appeal to many students with a less academic bent and now also offer some more engineering-oriented courses as well. They might be a good fit for your son. And give him a hug. Just think how many parents would love to have a son who offers to mow the yard![/quote]
