[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my son take 2 classes at a time and work until he got the hang of it.

He’s also working with a therapist for executive functioning, etc.

I think your kind of giving up at the goal line.[/quote]

Which goal line ? There are two.[/quote]

You don’t just give up at 19 when you’re clearly planned to support her for 4 years of college. Just because it didn’t work out exactly as planned doesn’t mean you give up[/quote]
Sounds like the OP has done college and a 2nd plan. At what point do you give up on college? 4 years because that’s what you committed to? What is failing four years of college going to accomplish? Time to find a new plan and pivot. [/quote]

I think people don’t understand the majority of kids don’t graduate in 4 years. I know a ton of successful people that took 5, 6, 8, years to graduate.

You try college, then community college, then part time, then job training that is not college.

Call the community college counselor and ask for advice.

I’d double down on counseling and tutoring.

You don’t punt in the red zone.
