[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the whole thread, but your child should apply to college, get an acceptance and THEN delay fall admission in order to do a Gap Year. That’s now Gap years work. Otherwise it’s just called not going to college and working. [/quote] This! You should have prepared your student in high school if you didn't think they would be ready. Why didn't you intervene then? Now it's time for the workforce or to find an alternative pathway. It doesn't sound like your child would thrive in a traditional 4 year setting even with a gap year. If I were you, I would be looking at programs that incorporate training with a living wage. Sometimes a paycheck is enough motivation.[/quote]
