[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - yes, I found out about the 18 year old sophomore because he was recently arrested for stabbing his 19 pregnant girlfriend, another student.  I really applaud everyone who is working hard to stay in school and graduate; I just know that there must be some benefit to alternative paths to graduation as well.  Math classes and language classes can be very mixed in high school.  I wouldn't want to be a 19 year old in class with 14 year olds.  How demoralizing![/quote]

Have you ever spent any time in an alternative HS program. They are pretty demoralizing as well. My cousin did one in another state because she got pregnant two years ago and her mom couldn't watch her baby. So she had to stay home during the day and go to school at night. The course offerings were very limited and there were no extracurriculars that could have helped my cousin with her college applications. The school counselor was overwhelmed and mostly concerned with documenting attendance for probation officers and social services.[/quote]
