[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is in agriculture and has hosted multiple wayward high school graduates and college dropouts for a gap year. Every single one of them has thanked us for the experience and went back to school. Most importantly they get a chance to see what physical labor looks like for the 60 year old employees. [/quote] OP, I imagine it's a hard call for your own kids but I concur with the PP above. Let your son do it. The experience will give him valuable work experience and perspective. He may also change his mind about where he wants to go to school, what he wants to study, and career paths. All kids should have more real world work experience. He may also gain some maturity, which would be a huge plus heading into college. [/quote]
