[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  This made me chuckle. [b] Most DC teenagers don’t drive, don’t know how to use a circular saw or hammer a nail straight, don’t know how to drive a tractor, don’t know how to shoot a rifle, can’t ride a horse, cant wire a light switch, can’t clean a fish, have no idea how to repair any part of a car, truck, or tractor, and the list goes on.  [/b]Those are all things I could do by 13 after growing up in the country (not even on a farm).  The notion that “corn fed farm girls” (whatever the f that’s supposed to mean) would find most DC “city kids”  anything other than sort of sad and clueless is pretty funny. [/quote]

Good. No reason for my kid to do any of those things.[/quote]

Well… proudly raising delicate snowflakes without any skills is certainly one way to parent.  Hope that works out for you. [/quote]

We diy our house.  I’d rather my kid focus on other things.   They can learn that stuff later after college.

Op and their child overestimated what schools they’d get into.  They have one good option and there are plenty of schools still accepting students just not with prestige.   Waiting a year isn’t going to change grades or anything else.   Go to the accepted school and if not happy transfer.  [/quote]
